| best bi-wire cables for ref75se/vandersteen 2ci I use Audioquest Type 4 between 3A Sigs and an Ayre v5xe. Works great and price is right. My bi wire pair is terminated on one end with a single set of spades for easy amp hook up. | |

| Choice of Vandersteen models Also consider whether you will able to take advantage of the Vandersteen upgrade program; the 5s can be upgraded all the way to 5A Carbons. I'm not sure if there is an upgrade program for the Quatro. Worth checking with a Vandersteen dealer. | |
