Hello Jeerunn40 - there are lots of good cable choices for Pass and Magnepans - Synergistic Research, Silent Source, Acoustic Zen, Harmonic Tech, and Analysis Plus to give you the top ones. Since you have some time, you should be able to get yourself some "deals" on the 'Gon for some of these. Keep in mind that you will need LOTS of experimentation with the speaker placement, so don't short yourself on speaker cable length! Enjoy - that should be a very nice system!
I have Pass XA100.5 and XP20. I use Harmonic Technology Magic balanced cables. Pass suggests using balanced mode and short, thick speaker cables with their amps. In my case, I use a long IC and a short speaker cable. I don't have experience with other cable brands in my system.
I own the Pass X-10 and the Pass X350.5 and I am using all Synergistic cables.
Check out my system posted.
