I'll sell you some rhodium plated gold interleaved ones with an OFC
surround and platinum terminals for 58,000 GBP if you like.

Lots. Listen to some, preferably in the room you'll be using.

Anything reasonably thick, with clean connectors.
You'll maybe have to pay big money for good speakers. Don't be conned
by the interconnect myth.

more from the 'james llewellyn school' of uk.rec.audio-ism:

None will give more bass (that would require more energy to be added, which
can only be done from a powered component).

Some may give the impression of more bass by acting as a hardwired EQ and
rolling off the mid+treble. If all you want is more bass, the EQ settings
on your amp are a far better way to go about it.

Do audiophile amps have tone controls again? They were a dirty word
last time I looked :-)

Well, you if need an EQ, I'd rather have a defeatable and adjustable one
than a hardwired piece of wire that cannot be turned off.
