Need speaker cables for HT System

I'm hoping someone can give me suggestions for speaker cables for my home theater system, which consists of 4 B&W Matrix 805's and center HTM being driven by a McCormack DNA HT-5 SS Amp, Rotel RSP-1066 processor, and Marantz DV-12S1 DVD player. I'm looking to bi-wire the front & center speakers, but not the rear. I was considering Audioquest or Straight Wire or any other brands you can recommend, but I don't want the system to sound too bright (some have told me that Straight Wire sounds bright). Any suggestions???

Canare S11 Star Quad for $0.69/ft is what the pros use. Great stuff.

Well...I was going to reference you to a thread I posted and updated about the AudioQuest GR-8 cable, but it seems to have "disappeared."

Check it out...for the coin, it is very good stuff.

I have set up a home theater with B&W 801s, 805HTM, SCM8s, DS6 with Mark Levinson amps and using Kimber 8tc for the surround, center, and rear. The result is excellent! And you can get them cheap used.

I can't find any mention of Audioquest GR-8 anywhere on their website.
