Which speaker cable?

Would like some input for a new set of speaker cables. I am running a Rotel 1095 amp (5 ch) and would like to upgrade from my monster cables. I will be running the new cable to B&W's 805 Nautilus and B&W HTM2 center. The rear channels have been already wired into wall speakers and I wont replave them for another year. I've heard a set of 803's with Kimber, but not a before & after. Wanting a tighter bass and cleaner highs if possible through the wire. So, input please as to makes, models and costs.

What do you folks think about speaker cables with "networks" built in? I was recently talked into trying out some MIT AVt3 speaker cables, which incorporate networks near the speaker side of the cable. So far, I have not been incredibly impressed. The midrange detail did seem to pop out a bit, but I think I may have lost some low end (although some of that may be to the increase in perceived mids). I may build some Canare Quad cables to compare and see if I notice a difference. I had been using some cheap 16 guage Radio Shack wire before I picked up my new Thiels, so that's all I have to compare against for now.

Any feedback on what "networks" do, and if they are desireable or not would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tom.
