Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones?


I'm upgrading my speaker cable for my Harbeth C7es-3 speakers. My power amp would be Pass Labs XA30.5.

Not sure it it matters but my pre-amp could be one of these: Audio Research LS 26, Ref 3, CJ ET 3, Leben CS28, Pass Labs XP10.

I'm looking for tight, dynamic bass, neutral/slight warm and medium to full body mid range and extended/smooth treble.

What cables would you recommend? My budget would be around 1k - new or used. What about Audience 24e, Cardas, Auditorium 23, Purist Audio, Acoustic Zen Sologram II? How do they compare in terms of 'sound'?

I appreciate your feedbacks.

I was very impressed by Tellurium Q black speaker cables. A ten foot length cost $500, and their claim to fame is in their clarity. I did feel I could hear lyrics better. Not easy to find, but it looks like 300 ohm antenna cable--thin and flat. I would still use it but I need 8 meters of cable now and I ordered River Cable. We will see.
