I would call Paul at" the cable company " 1 800 fat wyre he has allways done right by me they have an extensive lending library and also some high end pre owned cables at great savings. My personal favorites are the Nordost's I think you may want to give them a listen start with the spm's , quattro fils or the capo de capo the valhalla's but let your ears be the judge . Dont pinch pennies on the cables it is alot cheaper to do it right the first time than it is to keep trading up, a lesson that I learned the hard way
Check out the Pure Note Epsilon Reference IC's and speak cables. I'm very happy with mine!
I second Jdevine's suggestion to audition. Flat cables should be one choice (e.g. Nordost, goertz), bearlabs (borrow from the site), siltech, and purist -- all have relatively different geometries & can give you alead to what *type* of cable agrees with the system & your personal preferences. There are many other "representative" products, I just named a few that came to mind & I had tried when in a similar situation to yours. Good luck!
I'm using Harmonic Technology Pro-Silway II's with
my predominantly Mark Levinson system and Magnepan
MG1.6 speakers. My speaker cables are Alpha-Core
Goertz MI-2. I've been satisfied with both.
Try the Kimber SELECT series --10 series = single ended,
11 series indicates balanced. The 1011 (or 1111) is an all-copper cable, the 10/11-21 series uses pure silver --silver for signal, copper for ground), while the spectacular 10/1130 is entirely all pure silver. If you can swing the extra dollars for the silver series, you'll have yourself a IC cable of outstanding tranparancy, detail, soundstage focus and at the all-too-elusive natural tonal colors that give music a natural and life-like perspective.
The Kimber Monocle/Bi-Focal speaker wire is also an excellent choice for your equipment. Give em a listen. Oh, one more thing. Ensure that the IC cables (particularly the silver series) have been fully burned-in. Sadly, unless you have a cable-cooker, it takes 1,000-1,500 hours of playing time before these cables settle in. But when they do, I'll bet you'll have a hard time leaving your listening chair....
