Nice system, especially for being your first.
I've owned Analysis Plus Oval 9 and liked them, they sound very full and forgiving to me. However it seems they are very system dependent, so results and opinions can vary quite dramatically. I've never used their ICs other than the Sub Ovals I currently run to my Bryston sub amp.
I owned Golden Cross for a few years and it is what you may be searching for. It sacrifices a bit of soundstaging and top end extension, but has a glorious midrange. Very, very good. I wouldn't spend that much on your system yet. I think it's a better to get a feel for what you like with less expensive cables.
For a year I had a system completely outfitted with Virtual Dynamics Nite and Audition cables and cords. Not exactly warm, but never harsh. Maybe smooth and cool is a better way to describe them. A little rolled off on the top, but very good soundstaging and extended bass.
For the past week I've had an all Acoustic Zen cable compliment and think it is very good. The Matrix II is probably a good bet for what you're looking for. Decently extended on both ends, with full midrange. You might want to consider the cheaper AZ WOW cables.
You may want to avoid silver cables because in general they offer a leaner sonic balance with extended high freqs and sometimes thin bass. So if I had to make a suggestion it would be Acoustic Zen WOW interconnects with Acoustic Zen Epoch speaker cables and Virtual Dynamics Basic power cords.
Good luck!
