spkr cable: copper, silver or combo/hybrid?


Silver interconnects are too bright/harsh in my solid state system so I opted for Synergistic Research hybrids (superlative soundstage!). Now I'm faced with the question of what to use for speaker cables, copper, silver or a combo/hybrid. Will I negate the effect of the SR IC if I choose silver? I put my money in the IC and am looking for budget speaker cables in the belief that the IC is a more critical component. Am considering Signal Cable,Silent Audio, Tara Phase II... in other words, speaker cables below $200. Plus I BI-WIRE. Rega Planet into a Marantz vintage integrated driving Mordaunt-Short speakers. Input?

Some misunderstanding here: my interconnect is not pure silver but a copper/silver hybrid. Silver ICs I found to be too bright in my system. That being the case, can I expect that silver speaker cable will also be too bright or will it simply be more accurately revealing of the detail disclosed by my SR IC which has a smooth, non-harsh quality?
Also, AZ Satori bi-wire speaker cable, even used, is not in the budget range I indicated.
