i am in a simialr boat with the alon II's.
i am hesitant to go with alons black orpheaus speaker cable due to they dont look that great and hard resale value.
current speaker cable is van den hul revalation ( best cable i have found for the alons on top or bottom). i have tried tara master generation, tara prime, ps audio statement, monster 2.4, mit 750 plus s3, az satori, and xlo type 5
btw, the alons are VERY revealing of what is hooked to them and the IV's liked to be tri-wired. here are some suggestions that might work for you.
try a bi-wire for mid & top and a single for bass ( you can also experiment to hear what combo sounds best)
alons black orpheaus - i finally hear it at the ces show in the alon suite ( $100k worth of gear ) and it was pretty awesome.
the new soundstring speaker cable - worked well on alon speakers and rumour has it, they will make the new speaker cables for alon. a bi-wire and a single wire set would work
a set of discovery 1-2-3 or signature biwire and pair of essential - i havent tried this myself- but i have tried the interconnects and they are a good match. also alot of other alon owners have used discovery speaker cables with good results ( and was reviewed in stereophile with discovery)- the factory direct prices are very good.
tara prime on the bottom - great bottom end cable
monster 2.4 biwire and 2.2 - very good cable on the alons. nice imaging and bass- can be a little detailed in the highs ( i was using xlo signature interconnect). monsters only decent cable and well reviewed in audio review and stereophile.
hope that helps,
mike
