When I have my Alon I's in my stereo system I use a set of Black Orpheus to bi-wire them because the Alons sound better bi-wired, but I usually have the Alons in my HT system where I use old Monster stranded copper cables. As far as the differences between the two cables, IME imaging and bass seem better bi-wired, especially the bass.

Wow! I just noticed how old this zombie-post is!
But I think I'll hit "Save" anyway, just for kicks.
