The Manis sucked the life out of every amp I've used it with when I was demoing it. Bi-amping with two identical models will help. Having said that, the best amp that I have heard driving the Mani 2s is the Sim Audio W5. I think the amp is rated only at 175 watts, but that figure is very conservative. Get as much power as you can afford, the speaker needs it.
As for speaker cables try the Totem speaker cables. While other cables may do some things better, the Totem wire seemed to work the best overall. Same goes for the ic, but only when used with Totem speakers.
