Which speaker cable?


Would like some input for a new set of speaker cables. I am running a Rotel 1095 amp (5 ch) and would like to upgrade from my monster cables. I will be running the new cable to B&W's 805 Nautilus and B&W HTM2 center. The rear channels have been already wired into wall speakers and I wont replave them for another year. I've heard a set of 803's with Kimber, but not a before & after. Wanting a tighter bass and cleaner highs if possible through the wire. So, input please as to makes, models and costs.

I have the same amp and speaker setup as you (check out my system), and chose to use AudioQuest GR-8 cables (mostly because I needed cables for the long runs to the rear speakers, and wanted to use the same cable throughout my system). There are better cables out there, but for the money, the GR-8 cables are hard to beat.

One thing I've come to realize lately is that power (electrical) and speaker placement greatly affect the sound of my system. Moving my speakers 6-inches back towards the wall and running my RMB-1095 through a Furman power conditioner made a significant difference.
