Just bought a pair of B & W 803s - wanted to know what would be the best choice of cables connecting these beasts to my McIntosh MA600,
 
I used to use Nordost Solar Wind bi-wire when i had my 803's.I think in general, Nordost cables work well with B&W.There is much debate as to how much difference different speaker cables make, but for the 803's you need a cable able to keep the bass under control.Possibly decent gauge £3/m copper wire for the bass drivers and depending on the balance of your system you might want silver wire for the mid/high frequency drivers.

I currently use Ps audio xtreme statement bi-wire cables.

They use heavy gauge copper for the bass and silver plated copper for the highs
 
I tried lots of cables with my 803s and Classe Cap-2100, Ear Acute cd player system. Best cable combinations were Audioquest.

Niagara interconnect+Mont Blanc speaker cable

Sky or Niagara interconnect + Volcano speaker cable(one of the best speaker cable I have ever try and used)

I highly recommend Audioquest cables. Also IMO, you have to change both interconnects and speaker cables...
