Here's a somewhat better price for the Viborg VM502+VF502 from a seller in France:

For use with bi-wired Spendor S100 loudspeakers, I suggest JANTZEN AUDIO 6N Solid Core Cable HP Polyethylene 2x1mm� � 7mm (17 AWG) for the low-posts, with JANTZEN AUDIO 6N Solid Core Speaker cable Polyethylene 2x0,5mm� � 6.5mm (20 AWG) for the high-posts. Think of them as highly advanced "bell wire" which was popular in Britain back in the day when BBC monitors became popular. Should provide a spacious if not classic soundstage presentation:

Terminate the cables with EIZZ EZ-502 Gold plated Copper Spades. I'll provide tips on how to do it effectively:
