Owned too many cables over my life...tons of Transparent!!  Also, mine are BiWire and they have the arrow pointing toward speaker/connections.  Can always call Josh at Transparent with any questions:)

Network closest to speaker end and arrow points to speaker end connections.  What kind? 
BlueSound Node 2i to Niam NAP 100
Nice option...I have a Vault, Node and PowerNode!  Great performers for the money...my Vault comes very close to my SACD playback source.  The Powernode is actually very impressive as well...could possibly compete with your Naim...eliminates a con... 
Subwoofer insight.
The REL’s are powered geniuses ...they draw almost nothing from the amp via the Speakon connection.  Mains run full range.  No X crossover needed.  No extra interconnects.  No extra boxes with crap in them for the signal to be degraded.  Simple!

Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
Anticables  
Good and bad w/ replacing stock preamp jumpers?
Huge difference and not necessarily expensive tweek...try some Monster Pro Studio IC’s or M1000i’s.  I recently replaced several of my multi thousand dollar IC’s with a pair of Monster Pro Stufio XLR’s I had in my old recording bag!  Wow are they ... 
Anyone recall at what generation Transparent cable used metal for its network module?
Anecdotal mention...owned many cables including current Gen Transparents.  They lost something special after they went beyond Gen 1 XL TECH....for me the magic went away when the acrylic came to stay! 
3 budget speaker cable choices
Anticables can be illuminating and easy to try with 30 day free trial and easy returns.  Quite magical actually! 
I need advice for power cords
Owned a lot of cables and PC’s...results are always system dependent and subjective but for extreme performance and reasonable pricing I would recommend Anticables.  Super guys to work with and easy 30 day trial with free returns!
