They don't have to be expensive cables (how long will they be?) but good damping is a must. The D amp will provide good damping control, but high inductance cables (like zip cord) or really long cables, or both, will work against good control. Any good solid core or low-strand-count cable will be better than zip-cord, but the best inductance spec is NO inductance and that can best be achieved using separated runs (like Virtual Dynamics.) A cheap used pair of VD's will give you all the control the D amp can deliver. A double run is a good solution too as long as the cable you're doubling has low/no inductance as a single run.
Cables for Bottom End of biamped RSIIb's
I am planning to biamp my Infinity RSIIb's with Class D on the bottom and tubes on top. I already have Zu Ibis cables for the top, but was thinking I could go to a much less expensive alternative for the bass cables. Anyone have a recommendation for low-cost cables with great bottom-end?
What about good old zip cord?
Or am I wrong in thinking the bass cables don't need to be high-end? Please fill me in on this.
