Bi-wire Cable Choices?...

Anybody have strong feelings for or preferences toward one of the following bi-wire speaker cables?

*TARA LABS RSC Prime Bi-wire
*DH LABS Q-10 Bi-wire
*Signal Cable Internal Bi-wire

They will connect a Roksan Caspian Integrated Amp to Epos M-12 speakers. My current wire is Kimber 4 PR singles. The sound is good yet seems a tad lean and small(?). Will bi-wire necessarily fill out the sound? Deeper? Fuller? I'm looking at keeping the cost under $200 for 6-8ft. Thanks mucho, Jerry

Jerry,
http://
www.markertek.com for the Canare StarQuad. You can either leave
bare wire or terminate with WBT spades.

Tvad, thanks for the Markertek info. Got a catalog from them within days. My question, have you (or anyone else out there who has listened and lived with Canare speaker wire) noticed a drop off at the low frequencies? I've read many good things 'bout these cables with one exception-that being the low end is a little light. This concerns me because I am looking at bi-wiring to hopefully bring out more bass in my system. Thanks,
Jerry

Ossorosso,
I have had Starquad in my system now for 4 weeks. Terrific open and airy highs, deep, tight bass. I'm sure there are better cables out there, but for me, at this moment in time, they do everything I could ask for. You have very little to lose by experimenting with them. Heck, I have 60 feet of 4S11 with WBT spade connectors at the amp, and the whole thing cost less than $100. I mean come on! Give 'em a try. You may find they're all you need, and you can always use the WBT spades on other cables later.

Tvad,
Thanks. I'm gonna give the Canares a try. I will love it if they are the ticket. I'm not really a tweeker and I have no interest in throwing a bunch of coin at an endless pursuit. I am in this for some good sounding music. I dig my stereo and I really just want to get a bit more punch outta the low-end. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it turns out. Jerry
