+1 on the Kimber recommendations. I've used everything from 4PR to Select and they're all excellent at their respective price points, I think. The acid test for me (as with any other components) is how much I miss them (or not) when I try replacing them with something else. In this case I've never heard anything which I'd want instead in an analogue setup. 4TC should be plenty with surrounds, I would have thought.

What I just don't get with this (& other 'fiddling') is; if you have some cables you're happy with (as above), why on earth would you want to replace them with something else? Chasing the last % I suppose; personally I'd rather listen to another album rather than fiddle, but each to his own.

I suppose people are looking for perfection, or perfection as they hear it. Simply borrowing a set of cables and 'testing' them is one easy upgrade (if it sounds better).
I have tried Nordost and Kimber cables, I bought them as I preferred the sound. That was before DSP speakers

Wireworld Eclipse (not the platinum, gold or silver, but simply the continuous cast copper) seems to perform very well.
