Need advise choosing speaker wire

I just purchased a pair of B&W 802D's. I use a Bryston 14bsst solid state amp and a deHavilland Ultraverve tube preamp. I have a Wadia 302 for my music source. I am in a huge quandry as to what speaker wires to buy...there are hundreds out there. I would like to bi-wire the B&W's. I guess I am looking for the cleanest, non-colored path to the speakers as I very much enjoy the Bryston-deHavilland combo. I really don't want to further "color" my signal with speaker wires as much as I can help it. Thanks for the help, Jim

Pure Note Paragon. Up there with the best and they are very transparent in my system. You can buy them direct with a 30 day trial.

Acoustic Zen Satori biwire will do the trick. Far superior to Oval 9 or Kimber 8tc, both of which I have owned are very good budget cables, but budget cables nonetheless. You have good components that deserve better.

-xlo signature 5.2 is pretty good (cost $$$$)
-soundstring speaker cable ( $$ - not as well known, but very high performance at a low cost. has the best cost/performace ratio imo))
-Kubla sonsa ($$$$$$- pricey but amazing)either the r
-Straightwire crescendo ($$$, big/hugh sound. works well with your speaker/amp combo.

btw, dont forget your powercords...they have a profund effect when used together..

hope that helps,

My personal favorite for value are Goertz Alpha-Core speaker cables. I have found them to be neutral and detailed, and they offer a money back guarantee so you can try them without risk. :o)
