I use Cardas Golden Cross legacy cables.
Made for Magnepan speakers and the best I have every tried.
They can still be found used on the web.
5.5 awg. effective gauge wires.

WHen I had Magnepan 3.6 speakers I used Kimber 8TC.
I still use the same speaker wires for my Magnepan 20.7 speakers.
It is an excellent speaker cable for less money than many out there.
Mine have WBT banana connectors at the Speaker end. And common copper spades at the amp end..

All nice speaker cables posted above. I've had Alpha Core Goertz MI2's and 3's forever.

Mr Cardas used the magnepan 3 series as the reference in the design, and they are shown connected to the 3 series on their website.

Look at legacy cables on the website.

Temped to try KIMBER Carbon 8 or 16

Keep it simple and reasonably priced, Belden 5T00UP (Gray jacket, 10 AWG) with Locking Banana plugs from Bluejeans cables, built to the length Needed.

Exactly what I am thinking of trying next. Currently have Canare 4S11, want to try something with a bit more cross sectional area 🤣
