Speaker Cable for Avalon Eidolons


I'm looking to upgrade my speaker cables (currently Audio Magic Socerer). My amp is an Accuphase A-50v. I'm looking for a fairly neutral cable as I am not trying to correct any system deficiency. My dealer is recommending Tara the Ones and was wondering what all you "Audiogoners" think.

I would try several cables at once if you are going through a dealer. I found that the eidolon's change dramatically with different cables. I think that Avalon uses Cardas neutral and golden reference cables in their listening rooms. The eidolon uses cardas neutral reference internally. I tried their golden reference ic and didn't care for it. Took too much resolution away.

I'm using supra sword speaker cables with WHG, nordost quattro-fil and valhalla ic's. Note/disclaimer: I sell WHG & supra cables.
I've also tried:
straightwire black silc (fast, detailed & transparent)
transparent ultra's(quiet background, 'processed sound') acoustic Zen Satori's (great harmonics, little syrupy)
Nordost red dawn's (fast, detailed, airy, a little grain).
All of these sounded pretty good.

I plan to try out the neutral reference speaker cables at some point. I've generally found that using all wire from the same manufacturer has synergistic qualities. The valhalla speaker cable's are too delicate and expensive for my tastes.
