Just bought Kef reference 1, now to choose speaker wires


Purchased Kef reference 1s and the rep recommended Audioquest Bi(something) wires, $1000+.  Seem pricey but these are kick-ass speakers and powered by a Rotel RAP 1580 AVR.   Any recommendations on great wires? Anyone Kef R1 owners with specific wires to recommend?

I just joined Audiogon and am starting to search through various posts.  Any help is much appreciated.

Congratulations on the new acquisition.
I highly recommend the Clear Day Double shotguns on those fantastic speakers.
@fritzjurg,
Sorry to hear about Pauls' health. Yes, he did have a major surgery during the Sep/Oct time frame last year. Hope he recovers soon.
There is a pair on the Clear Day Double Shotguns on sale on audiocircle site. But I have never dealt on that site, so cannot comment.
Congratulations @fritzjurg. Good to know that you like the KEFs. I have listened to them multiple times at audio shows. As far as the Salamander goes, make sure that they are not as tall as the loudspeakers+stands, unless you do not plan to position that stand between the speakers. Check out Cullen Cables or Signal Cables for power cord option.
Hopefully Paul gets well soon and make the cables for you. If you get a chance, please do post pics of your new speakers. Make sure NOT to use loud volume to break-in the speakers. Just use moderate volumes and you should be fine. In the meanwhile enjoy your system.
