Cable for maggie 1.6

I have found nirvana with Acoustic Zen IC's in my system and when I got the Satori speaker cables to go along with them I lost something in the mid bass to lower midrange region (I think). I replaced some Alpha Core MI2 cables that were biwired with a single run of Satori which is much more detailed and images better and has nicer tone in the upper mids and better bass dynamics as well. I know it does not sound too bad, but my system is missing that emotional something that the MI2's had.

My question is:

What cables do you recommend with the 1.6's that will give me the best of both worlds?

Someone who I respect told me Analysis Plus Oval 9 as his choice over the MI2's (just a little better)

BTW my system is:

Rogue 99 Magnum
Plinius SA100 MKIII
LP12,Rega 300, Grado Sonata
Maggie 1.6

thank you

What is your budget?

I am very familiar with 1.6's and the SA100 mk3 amp.

Post your budget, and I will make a recommendation.

My setup consists:
Wadia 860x
JRDG model 10
Maggies 1.6

Wired by FIM power cord (amp) and interconnect (to cdp).
PS Audio Lab II (cdp) and Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable (to Maggies). Currently in the market for speaker cables to further enhance the current sonics.

I have found that the Maggies are rather revealing... so I have decided to tweak with some "warm" cables which the FIM provided without the expense of detail loss. Just to be sure I don't overdo my "coloring" I have decided to use Nordost cables for balance...

I just plugged my Jena Labs Twin 15(Valkyre) cables in my system this evening and WOW! I was floored by what happened- I was expecting the bass to knock me over and it didn't change too much- perhaps slightly more linear. How ever the midrange, midbass and highs are the best I have ever heard(from these speakers) and vocals are so freaking real sounding you want to reach out and touch the performer. Needless to say I am impressed, these are going to be staying with me for a while. I am using 3.6 and not 1.6 but still felt the opinion was worth noting. Now that I have something else playing in the background while typing this and the bass is snappier then I have ever heard- the next few day should prove to be very interesting and enjoyable.
