Speaker cable upgrade from Analysis Plus Oval 12

I have been using Analysis Plus Oval 12 speaker cable for about 10 years. Overall, sound is good and clean. However, the upgrade bug has returned. What current speaker cable would be an audible upgrade from the Oval 12 without spending a lot of money.... I have a Creek SE 5350 Classic integrated amp(85RMS) and a pair of Silverline Preludes which are biwireable, which Silverline claims only makes marginal difference....I am possibly going to replace the Preludes in the next year with Totem Hawks or the new Usher Be718 monitors, but might just stay with what I got....All advice and opinions welcomed

For 2-way speakers such as the Preludes, I would recommend the Acoustic Zen Hologram II bi-wire cables. They are specially made for 2-way speakers, and I have found them to be very good. The Oval 8s are very good as well -- quite a bit of a step up from your current Oval 12s. I have had all 3 on my Tyler SuperTowers (which are 2-way), and I preferred the AZ Holograms. They seemed to stage a little better than the Oval 8s and seemed more coherent. On my other multi-driver Tyler Signatures, I preferred the Oval 8s.

As always, let your own ears be your guide.
