Acoustic Zen Speaker Cables

Once again I call on Audiogoners for advice. Other equipment decisions were easy compared to this one. Been reading for months on speaker cables to determine the best fit for my system. Look to spend about $1,000 new/used. Need about 12'.
System: Merlin VSM-M with McIntosh SS amp & tube preamp. At the top of my current list are Acoustic Zen Satoris or Halogram IIs. Any comments? Not seen many reviews of AZ speaker cables with Merlins. Good match??? Thanks, Jim
