I have a pair of B+W 803's running to a McIntosh 7205, I am quickly getting home theater pieces and putting together a decent home theater, I am already closing in on my budget of 10,000 but I still need 805 rears. I am not looking to pay an arm and leg for some wire. I just need good quality biwireable speaker wire. Any ideas?


Thanks guys

    Easy, just don't bother doing it.

    Worry about that crap later, just get up and running.

    If you must, go with www.signalcable.com, it's just a suggestion.

    I just don't get it, if you have Mac and B&W what wouldn't you want to have very high quality speaker wire??

    I have alot of experience with B&W and some with McIntosh. Those 2 together sound Incredible. I suggest you look into Transparent MusicWave Plus non bi wires with replacement jumpers or Musicwave Plus Bi wires. Or Kimber Kable Monocole X with replacement jumbers or Kimber Bifocals X bi wires.

    Wire is every bit as Important to your overall sound as the speakers and amp are. Without good wire between them , I feel you don't get to hear what they can do together.

    Don't cheap out of the wire.

    My comment was directed at Bi-Wiring, not wiring as a whole....who gives a **** about Bi-Wire.

    This dude does. B&W's are bi wireable. But you can as you know buy a single run with the same quality jumpers.

    I perfer to Bi wire but you can single with jumpers.

    Mantis, I've spent my budget for the time being, I know wire is important and I am working on getting everything together. My plasma arrives tomorrow also! :)

    Baked - This forum sometimes doesn't know when to stop suggesting that you spend more money. Good luck with what you choose.

    Indeed it doesn't. I am thinking of the monster M series speaker wire (biwireable)

    I'll mind.

    Why ruin a good set up with M cable? There are so many better choices.
