...just putting in my 2 cents worth:
I am a big proponent of simple twisted wires as speaker cables. I don't have mega-bucks equipment or speakers - BUT JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT: go down to your local electrical lighting/supply place and get lengths ( distance you need for speaker cable + 2') of 12g solid core copper wire, vinyl-jacketed. Take two lengths and twist them together. Leave ends stripped bare and fasten into place (if bi-wiring, obviously do two sets per speaker). Run your system for a good 300 hours non-stop - and for under $20 you may be presently surprised...
