Hi NuWave, perhaps another solid core bare copper speaker cable, with a similar aggregate gauge as the AQ Type 4, but this time with smaller AWG conductors for zero audible skin effect, and a completely different geometry and sonic signature. Wireworld cables feature a spiraled ribbon cable, and is tuned/voiced for the best tonality the designer decided upon for general use. It features a slightly smaller cross section of 16 AWG vs. 15 AWG of the AQ Type 4, so if your Vandys perform well with a cable that avoids notable voltage drop, but not instantaneous high-current demand as a prerequisite, the Wireworld Stream 8 Speaker Cable is $9 per meter, and if you wish to build a set of external bi-wire cables, you'll need to purchase enough bulk cable to run two cables for each speaker, one for the high posts and one for the low posts; a total of four cables for use with a pair of bi-wire ready loudspeakers. I suggest covering the cables with 3/8" Techflex braided sleeving.https://www.partsconnexion.com/WWORLD-86416.html
