I have B&W 803D mains, HTM2D center, DS8S surround and in-ceiling CCM-65 backs. B&W speaker like power, heavier gauge wire than the 4TC and absolutely bi-wire them.
The best I've heard the non-diamond series is with the Rockfeller by AQ with their Coloroado inteconnects (Niagara and Sky even better but too pricey for most). The Rockefeller is desgined to be bi-wired and is the same cost as the CV-8.
Do this and you'll get he sound you are looking for.
The B&W speaker without the dismond tweeters are forward to begin with and the 4TC or Monster will make it even worse. Only Kimber's upper range speaker cables that have some silver in them will help you obtain the sound you want but at a much higher cost than the AQ Rockefeller bi-wired.
I use AQ Gibralar with the speakers with diamond tweeters but they were too bright when I had a HTM3S center with the aluminum tweeter and used a double run of CV-8 for them and it sounded great. The CV-8 and Rockefeller are the same price but the Rockefeller is set-up geometrically to be bi-wired and has a ferrite type material on the ngative conducors which the CV-8 doesn't.
Find a AQ dealer and they should have some demo cables for you to try out in your system.
