Default Speaker cable selection issue

I wonder if anyone would provide advice on speaker cable selection.

I have an Arcam amp connected to Kef Q35 speaker via Cable Talk 3.1 Biwire
cable. Following a move round I need to buy some cable which I can run
under the carpet and bend round corners without causing a huge ridge in the
carpet. The current bi-wire cable is not going to fit the bill.

Hence, can anyone recommend a suitably thin bi-wire cable that isn't going
to cost the earth and is thin enough to go under a carpet and bend without
too much problem. I have thought about Supra Rondo 4x2.5. Or should I just
get a more expensive non bi-wire cable and forget bi-wiring.

Any advice gratefully recieved!

IIRC Maplin do some 'flat' LS cables which might serve your purpose. Have a
look at their website and see what you think.

Up to you. Personally, I would not bother with bi-wiring.

Slainte,

I would use two individual runs of QED silver micro @£3.50/m to each
speaker.
