    I'll be ordering the same amp myself shortly. Cabling wise, you should check out the following forum: http://www.avforums.com/, where you'll find a cables section among other fantastic sections regarding av stuff.

    buy a reel (or two depending on your needs) of 79 strand speaker cable. Maplins stock it. Anything less and you'll lose detail and treble/bass and will be a false economy. As for interconnects well the sky's the limit but don't even consider the ones that might have been boxed with the amp or DVD player. Spend a few bob on decent interconnects and you won't sit there wondering if you're hearing everything as you should.

    recommended speaker cable ranges between 12 - 16 gauge. 16 being the smallest.

    I have run tests on response from cable runs and to be honest.. stranded mains wiring in systems sub €10,000 is just as good, and showed there is no real gain on buying expensive speaker cabling.

    Im ready for all you nordost fans to give this thread a good bashing... :D

    The only test that matters is the ear of the one paying for it..... certainly in home cinema there's less in the way of subtleties and the even if there was the visual image fills in those gaps.... for music the quality (not necessarily the cost) of cabling, at a certain level of equipment, is crucial

    Is that amp twice the rated power of the speakers you have linked? Or did I miss something?

    also, if you dont mind me asking, did you get the amp from a Euro\GB store or from the US?
