xStream speaker cables and B&W 804s


I was wondering if anyone has experience with a combo like this? I have heard the B&Ws described as bright (I love them as they are) and I have heard the Xstream bi-wires described as warm. I am thinking the combo might be a good balance. My other thought is a set of Wireworld Equinox 5s, but not bi-wire. I have a Parasound preamp and amp with Wireworld Polaris 5 interconnects.

Any comments appreciated.

I love my N802's also, but I think a lot of people are just using possibly bright sounding preamp's or power amp's. I am currently using the PS Audio Xstream statements bi-wire on the N802's and they sound excellent. Remember, a lot of how your 804's as well as other speakers are going to sound depends on the quality of the recording, the B&W's will just let thru how it actually sounds. However, if your trying to tame them, copper wires would be the way to go along with a room with heavey drapes, furniture, and a proper position of the speaker's. What ever you do, ignore any advice from a certain judy on this site as she's a well known B&W basher and thinks people who make speakers in their garages are the way to go. Good luck to you and feel free to e-mail me anythime if you want to. Uriah
Unless you place some electronics in your speaker wires or go to an unusually resistive cable or incredibly long lengths then you are unlikely to change the sound of your system by changing speaker wires.

In order to sound warm the cables would need to modify the sound, which would require some kind of filter like you have inside your speakers ( a crossover for example).

My two cents: If you want your speakers to sound less bright then I would recommend to try a graphic equalizer or tone controls or changing room coverings ....carpets and wall rugs will tone done the treble significantly.
I use Synergistic Research Signature 10 Bi-Wire with my N803 and am happy with the results.
