Speaker Cable Suggestion

I'm building my new hifi system. Currently includes a pair of B&W 804s, a Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated as well as the matching CD player.

Does anyone have any suggestions for potential speaker cable that would match best? The interconnect should be changed soon as well.

My idea would be the golden cross serie from Cardas or the neutral reference.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Daniel

Audience AU24's are the best cable I've tried in my system, they have bested Alpha Core M-2 (very good), 8TC, Kimber monocle X and XL, Nirvana SL (very good), MIT 750 Shotgun, MIT Magnum M2.

I have heard others having issues with bass but with Thiels this is not an issue for me. They are the most balanced among the brands I've tried in my system, I can't find a flaw.

Save yourself some time and money. Get the audio metallurgy
gold reference speaker cables and ga-0 interconnects (just reviewed in stereotimes)they're probably the most neutral cables out there. I auditioned them in my system side by side against the cardas golden reference cables and they smoked the cardas as well as harmonic technology magic ones and synergistic research resolution reference.5's

Eee3, Synergistic Research resolution reference.5??? That is old technology. Synergistic has improved significantly since then. Their new line of Tesla cables are new technology. They have a Tesla challenge against any other cable. Borrow from The Cable Company and see for yourself. I did and now prefer Synergistic Research over any other cable.

Soon will be at three year anniversary using Straley's Reality IC's and speaker cable, from Realitycables.com
Their value for a reasonable price continues to be so impressive that not restless to replace in the systems where being used. The OFC RCA connector option is recommended to elevate performance of this design.
This is wiring allowing every nuance of a recording to be heard, and this unveiling of even minute details contributes to the illusion of being physically and emotionally closer to the performers.
I am one who finds there is synergy when using IC's, and speaker cable of similar capabilities from one manufacturer.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll need to do some research about the choices you have suggested me.

I'll definitively go for a bi-wired speaker cable, and probably try to find a cable that will match with the brightness of the MF.

Thanks again for your help.
