Need New Speaker Cables to Replace my Nordost SPM's


Any thoughts on Cables.  I currently have Nordost SPM's That I purchased new years ago.  Using B&W N802 speakers.  So I need Bi-Wired.

Budget is 3K Used.

I agree with the prior post by jperry .... +1.... nailed it!

(1) All cables have their own sonic signature, so you either like the NORDOSTs ... or not.
And there is a definitive improvement in performance as you move up their product line.

(2) I personally followed Nordost’s suggestion to use shotgunned (emphasis added on the "shotgunned") single run speaker cables and matched shotgunned jumpers in my biwire capable speakers. This speaker cable array bested a bevy of bi-wired array in my system, including a NORDOST array itself. I eventually settled on an all FREY shotgunned/jumper speaker cable array based on my matrix trade-off of performance versus price.
(3) I would definitely suggest the matched NORDOST ICs to their model speaker cables. One with out the other will degrade or limit their respective performance capabilities based on my personal extensive swap-in / swap-out bake offs in my own system that mirrored the same experience at my dealer.
