Best speaker cable in the $2,500 range


I have been reading many reviews about the following speaker cables in the around $2,500 price range (for an 8 or 10 ft pair) but can't seem to come to a consensus as to which one would be the best choice. I am looking for a pair to upgrade from my Transparent Musicwave Supers. Any feedback on your experiences with these cables is much appreciated! Thanks!

I tried out two of the cables on your list from The Cable Company's lending service (and 6 more besides). Ended up prefering an Acoustic Zen Hologram II to anything I had heard (as a bonus it was under $1000).
What I liked on my system is meaningless, but what might be of use is for me to reccomend that you get hooked up with a local dealer who will let you do in home try outs or else give the cable company a shot. Else, you can find a used cable cheaper but it is a shot in the dark and a good buy on a 2500 list cable might still cost more than finding out that a 500 list cable is what works in your system best.
