Speaker Cables...Opinions....


Will be setting up 2 Plinius SA-102 in bridged/mono to power B&W 802D's. Any suggestions for a good cable match? My preferences lean toward detail and dynamics to feed my rock addiction, both digital and analog but jazz manages some play time as well. Love a good piano player. I am planning to biwire, maybe 2 separate runs per channel. Significant improvement over internal biwire? Plinius has 2 sets of binding posts so I assume this is a plus..... Thanks in advance for any advice.....

Rest of System:
Basis 2001-RB-900-CJ EV1
Theta Jade transport-DCS Delius and Purcell (pre firewire vers.)
CJ 16LSII preamp
Synergistic Research cables...(may change these as well...not thrilled with the
mini-coupler situation)

Put the monoblocks behind the speakers, with the rear of the amps facing the speakers. The idea is to get the binding posts on the amps as close as possible to those on the speakers, allowing you to use as little speaker cable as possible. If the binding posts on the speakers are near the ground, you may be able to get away with only a few inches of cable.

I've taken this to the natural end and modified my tube monoblocks so that the output transformer is wired directly to the speaker binding posts. Hence my "speaker cable" is non-existent. The best cable is no cable.....
