Default What kind of wire for my RT600I's ?

I just got some RT600I's and I am planning on hooking them up to a JVC RX-8020VBK. What kind of wire would be the best? Any input would be great. Thanks.

For the rt600i's,Id look into Monstercable mcx wires, nicely built,good sound quality,and won't break the bank.Should match your system well.
