Speaker cable

[Superhullie]

Hello,
Recently acquired a pair B&W 705 Signature speakers (in fabulous datuk finish) and the Rotel RA-1592MKII integrated amplifier.
Now i am looking for speakercables ( bi-wire or full-range with jumper) that would bring the most out of them.
I am thinking about : Audioquest Rocket 88 or Telluriumq Silver iii or ??

Thanks for any advice you can give me

Make sure you perform a blind test before going for Hi-Fi cables as they are nothing but a con, and are purely there to extract as much money a possible for you.
Go for professional cables (As used in professional Film and Music Studios) as they are reasonably priced and of high quality. (Go for 4mm sq with the equipment you have listed, unless they are very long runs)

Hi, you got nice combination of proper very good Rotel amp and B&W bookshelfs. From my experience, B&W in 700 series is lively with a lot of details in treble and upper mids. This is even augmented by Rotel amp. Rotel has this character mainly in cheaper models. Means here you need a bit care not to bring another "lively, very present" cable to the party. It can be too much and sound may start to be tiring. I recommend to avoid some silver cables and cables with silver content which have this effect. (Nordost). This can help in combination like McIntosh with Sonus Faber but not here. Audioquest Rocket 88 is classic long made champion which is very universal and popular. The right choice. With Tellurium Silver I am not so sure. It needs trial at home on your system. I strongly recommend to do it like this. Other cables which work from my experience are Cardas and QED in this class. I am using Cardas Neutral Reference for some 23 years and switching slowly to Cardas Clear family. But QED are awsome for very good price. BR.

As per the above, single crystal ofc cables without the silver plating works best for speakers that are slightly on the bright side.

I use Furutech single crystal cables for my interconnects with good results. I'd imagine the speaker cables will deliver equally good results.

I just found this on AliExpress:

Hi, Furutech is legend, but here in AliExpress, no chance this is original. I do not trust such source.
