    B&W Nautilus 802 and Accuphase E-308 - speaker cables?

    Hi there,

    I'm proud and happy owner of B&W Nautilus speakers, I have N803s and I'll upgrade to N802s this week. They will be amplified with Accuphase E-308 integrated amp, which is a very natural, neutral sounding amp and will drive the 802s with ease.

    The question is: which cables do you recommend for the N802s with the Accuphase? Has anyone had experience with both, B&W and Accuphase gear?

    I'll probably do bicabling, as this seems to be best for the B&Ws. I have today Audioquest's Slate and a ribbon brazilian manufactured cable (similar to Nordost's), the last one my reference. I have tried Supra's Sword 3.0, very good, but not for bicabling.

    Could someone help me out on this?

    Thanks,

    Victor

    Yes, check with Doug at Catcables. There is a link at the bottom of the website. He is also the admin of this site.

      Thanks Miner, anyone else?

      I'm thinking on bicabling with Nordost's Blue Heaven or red Dawn for the mids/highs and Audioquest's CV-8 for the bass.

      What you think about that?

      Thanks,

      Victor

        Victor,

        Cat Cables are the best value... For the price you are talking about you could get some silver copper cable sthat are amzing... But if you want to try a name brand IMO I wouldn't mix the two brands - just stick to Nordost - they have a distinctive sounds and are well regarded.

          by dinyaar
          Hi guys,
          Have had the 805s for over a year and am still experimenting with an amplifier to really satisfy. Have gone thru the usual Nad/rotel gear and even tried a bryston Pre/power for a while but the search for an amplifier that does almost everything still continues.
          Am based in india...
