Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please


My current cables are Cardas Cross.  My speakers are Wilson Sophia 2.  I just changed electronics from Audio Research tubes, PS Audio DAC, and Whest Phonostage to the Devialet Expert 220 Pro.  The sound is a bit more bright and forward than with the previous gear.  I am happy overall, but I would like to tame it a little.  I am considering an upgrade to the next price category in speaker cables.  $2-3k retail new for a 2.5 meter pair.  Any suggestions for a cable that will work well with my gear?  Any thoughts on Nordost in that price range?  Perhaps Heimdall 2?

The brands that have peaked my interest are Purist, Verastarr, Nordost, and Cardas.

thanks!

I don't think you should spend "More" money on cables.  You may want different ones... but more expensive doesn't make a lot of difference IMO in sound quality.  There is definitely a point of diminishing return.  I would try a few different sets (like from cable company) and keep the ones you like best.  But don't just assume you have to spend $2k to $3k for speaker cables.
