Speaker cables or interconnects??

Speakers: Spendor A6
Amp: Musical Fidelity M6i integrated
CD: Cambridge Audio azur C350
Turntable: Pro-ject Xpressions III
Cables: Audioquest Evergreen interconnects, Monster XP speaker wire

The Monster Cable sounds pretty good but highs are a little bright and mids slightly forward. I've tried DH Labs T14 and Blue Jean Cable and the DH sounded a little bright and "thin". The Blue Jeans Cable highs were smooth but the mids were a bit recessed.

Here's my question ......would I be better off keeping the interconnects consistent and trying to adjust via speaker cable? That's my current thinking. Any suggestions on a step up speaker cable that is just plain flat. Any guidance on the Cardas "Neutral" speaker cables. Any other recommendations, thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

You may wish to checkout the REGA QUATTRO bi-wire as a "flat" speaker cable.(They work even better with the REGA COUPLE ICs) Both are made to REGA specs by KLOTZ in Germany.

The Quattro speaker cable is used as the internal wiring in their R9 speakers (and RS10s I think) and the COUPLE IC is standard issue with their $10K ISIS cdp. It also acquitted itself admirably until I upgraded to a NORDOST FREY XLR IC at 5 X the price.

I still use the QUATTRO speaker cable now in my "B" system. Being a flat speaker cable has its obvious advantages vis-a-vis the "WAF", as a bonus.

I sold off my ATLAS ASCENT 3.0 speaker cables cuz the REGA QUATTRO gave me about 95% of the performance in that sysytem at fraction of the price. $($1,200 vs $225).

Gene Rubin Audio thru his Online Store on Ebay carries them.
