Good speaker cable for Rotel / B & W

I had a Rotel 985 5-channel amp and B&W CDM 1NT speakers a few years ago and a great speaker cable for them is the Stealth Premier cables. You can find an 8 ft. pair used on Audiogon occasionally for @ $200.00-$250.00/pr. This is a very synergistic match. Good luck.

I have a pair of AQ Argent bi-wire that is in your price range and should be a significant upgrade from Slate. Send me an email if you are interested. Good luck and best regards.

Still thinking of the Oval 9s -- wondering whether it would be best to bi-wire or to jump the terminals. The 603 has four posts, and I've read it likes to be bi-wired.

I just recently upgraded my speakers from the B&W CM2 (Concept 90 speaker from the late 80's with a series 2 Matrix design) to a pair of PMC OB1's. My associated electronics are a Rotel RMB1075 amplifier along with the Rotel 1098 pre-processor.

I've been tweaking around with cables a great deal lately and really recommend the Audience Au24 speaker cable (provided you can stretch your budget a bit since I think they would be just over your $500 limit). I find the Rotel/B&W combination can be a bit on the bright/analytical side. The Audience Au24 can really add an injection of warmth and smoothness to the sound.

I know the Audience Au24 is an expensive cable (and perhaps outclasses the rest of my system) but in my opinion...is simply an amazing cable.

I have a Krell receiver driving B&W speakers through analysis plus oval 9 speaker cable as my bedroom system. The connectors on the analysis plus are silver. Upper end is somewhat bright. FWIW I am shopping for warmer speaker cable.
