To upload a picture, go to the :

1) www.audiogon.com page.
2) On the bottom of right culumn, you will see "My page" -
Left click on the mouse on that.
3) On the middle of the left column, you will see "Virtual systems" under "Interaction" - Left click on Virtual systems.
4) On the bottom, you will see "build a system" - Left click on that.
5) You can build your system, and when you click on a CD player for instance, there is a small box asking you if you want to upload a picture. That will allow you to upload a picture.

Speaker wire is an issue at that level - what does your cable say on it ? What brand ?

If you bi-wire, it will be better but not absolutely necessary - if your current wire is not long enough. Since you said it's pretty thick, it might be already good enough.

I like this cable - IXOS XHS706 13 AWG GAMMA GEOMETRY SPEAKER WIRE

You can google search for it to buy.

Hope this helps,

Monster cable superflex is an entry level mid-fi cable - noticeably better than using just any electric cable, so I would look to other places for the weakest link, and work on upgrading those, and upgreade the speaker cable later, if you want something more.

If you bring the rest of the system to a good mid-fi level, you will be in a bit of sonic heaven...
