Speaker cables for Sonus Faber Olympica II

I’m currently using the Clear Day Double Shotgun 6 foot cables with the speakers. Since I have the speakers out by at 5 feet from the front wall, they are stretched to the max. I’m afraid someone might step on them and break the connectors. So time for new cables. Would love to hear recommendations for speaker cables that go well with Olympica II. My budget is $500 max for 10 foot -- used is fine too. Thanks.

I have ordered the Audio Envy speaker cables. I will try them in my system for about a month or so, and if I can't notice much improvement, i will most likely end up returning them.

@b4icu -- I appreciate your offer, and might take you up on it if the AE cables don't live up to the hype.

Thanks @milpai ... I recently purchased an AE power cord for my DAC and am very pleased. Their speaker cable was in fact the first one that came to mind, but wanted to see if there are other alternatives. Do you mind telling us what sonic attributes made an impression in your friend's system?

@soix I hear you man. I've already splurged more than what I had planned to this year, so yeah I was being cheap :)

Originally, I was thinking of temporarily using longer cables as a stopgap measure and then buy more expensive ones later on. But this is a fantastic price. Appreciate the recommendation. Will check it out.

@milpai Thanks for sharing. As much as I like Clear Days for the open, lively sound, I feel that at times it gets a bit too hot on the top. I hope Audio Envy is different in that respect.
