Audioquest or Kimber kable.


So I'm looking for a little guidance on speaker cables.  I recently moved up to Focal Aria 926 and 906 speakers and trying to decide between better speaker cables. The 926's share duty between home theater and 2 channel while the 906 are going to be used in a more dedicated 2 channel. Both are paired to Emotiva Xpa gen 3 amps with the 926's connected to my Yamaha 2050 pre-outs and the 906's to the Emotiva PT-100. I plan on upgrading my Emotiva down the road and would like cables that can grow with my system. I'm looking at Audioquest Rocket 33 and kimber kable 8tc cables. Which direction would be good and would it be worth going up to Rocket 44 ? Thank everyone for any and all advice.

Have had both prefer Kimber. I am using the 8tc now and have no problems at all. Quality and price a good buy. 
I've been using Kimber 8TC with my Focal speakers for years and have zero complaints.  Worked seamlessly and gloriously with my Martin Logans as well.  I've also used Audio Quest in same system but went back to Kimber, either 8TC  or 12TC.  Love my Kimber Hero interconnects as well.
I have always had good experiences with Kimber.  I own an assortment for different applications and systems.
I have the Aria 936 and went from the Rocket 44 to Kimber 8tc. I much prefer the Kimber. The AQ seemed to suck the life out of my system. The Kimber, to me, are very neutral

You had a gold-plated spade/banana on the Rocket 44.  The solid-core of the Rocket 44 are very neutral and not harsh.  The gold plated terminations definitely make things warmer and the end result could have been too dull sounding.  The Kimber typically uses it's own terminations, which are a plated allow - much more neutral.
