cable suggestions for new system

In contrast to the above response, I feel you get a lot of difference between different IC's or speaker wire.

It would be helpful if you mention what you like and dislike about the sound right now and what you are trying to achieve.

Kimber makes some good economy wire and I use and recommend Acoustic Zen myself.

I agree with Philjolet.

In time past, most cables sounded quite similar in my system. Sure there were micro-dynamic differences, but they were just that. Micro. Some of those differences may not even have been improvements. They were just different.

Recently demo'ed and purchased some new cables on a hunch and I discovered there certainly can be magic found in cabling changes.

But I still think it's like looking for that needle in a haystack.

I'm starting to think there's only a handful of cables out there that are clearly superior and for the most part the rest fall into the so-so to good category. (Keeping in mind I've only demo'ed or purchased about 15 to 18 different cables)

-IMO

Gentleman, thanks for your input. The actual IC is Monster 400mkii, the seaker cable is non descript. It came prepackaged as 10 foot lengths, with clear covering and is multistrand which appears to be about 9 AWG equivalent. Not sure what the actual terminations are called but they are gold plated and angled. They fit the WBT posts of the amp (not the bannana connection but the 'hole' exposed when unscrewed). It's been suggested that Kimber 8TC would be a good choice.

Check out Mapleshade cables. They're sold direct, with a 30-day moneyback. I'm using their ICs, speaker cables, and PCs after replacing much more epensive Kimber and Audioquest wires (sold them for more than the Mapleshades cost). Just a suggestion.

I would like to add Analysis Plus to your list of cable selections. Finally, to me anyway, a cable in which I can call it quits. I am finally DONE with cables for my system!
