cables for apogee duetta II

I just picked up a pair of apogee duetta IIs and am looking for a good set of bi-wire speaker cables to go with them. Everything I read seems to indicate that the apogee speakers are very cable sensitive. Anyone have any experience/recommendations? I like a dymanic yet tight sound and am using an emotiva preamp with an aragon 4004 mkII. Also any suggestions on interconnects would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Not a good idea to use ANY high-capacitance cable -- such as Alpha-Core (even with the Zobel band-aid) -- with a solid state amp.
Disclaimer -- I own Portal Audio, a manufacturer of solid state amps; also own Equus Audio, which sells MIT cables.
BTW -- I have Duetta lls now. Have owned Divas & Duetta Sigs in the past.

Unsound -- thanks for your question. Even with the Zobel, a solid state amp sees a highly reactive load. The Zobel simply keeps the amp from going into serious oscillation. That's why I call it a band-aid. ALSO, the presence of another component soldered on _in series_ with the signal is just another veil between the music and the listener.
ATB,
