Cables for B&W 685

With so many options out there, I'm not sure where I should go with this. That being said, I'll try to boil it down to two questions: What is a good match cable-wise for these speakers, and is it worth the extra expense to biwire them? I have a very basic system (currently driving the 685s with an NAD 326BEE). Thanks for your insight ...

I happened across this post and also have B&Ws and was also looking at Audioquest. There is a Soundadvice in town that sells it. Would you recommend it for some CDM7 SEs?

Thanks,
Will

Yes, Audioquest is a great match for B&W's. I tried a pair of Rocket 33's on my new CM10's and liked them so much I went for the Rocket 88's. Looking forward to them getting here. Put back in my back up cables (stranded copper) and it is not nearly as good.

I am getting so much controversy on the Audioquest, do you have a specific model? Is Rocket 33 and 88 another brand?

Thanks.

Jeddy -

Transparent, is the natural, sonic match for B&W speakers.

The Rocket Series are Audioquest. I put off buying them also for the longest time due to the lack of reviews, user or other wise but am glad I took a chance. Not sure how good they are for other speakers, but for B&W's they seem to be a fantastic match.
Glad to hear about Transparent being real good also, but never tried them myself.
