what speaker cables would you use?

I have a Berning ZH270 amp and Merlin VSMM's. What speaker cables would you use? I thought about Cardas. It might be the right choice although the older Cardas I have heard sounds to dark. I am thinking about the new Shunyata or FMS cables but all suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks

Had you considered trying the Mapleshade/Clearview Double Helix or Omega Mikro Planar series cables.30 day money back guarantee.I believe Lloyd Walker uses them with an OTL/Merlin set-up with good results.Or Siltech?

Hello;
I recently wired my system with Alex's FMS Nexus line.
Still waiting for speaker cable but have at this time Zero's.
In my opinion, FMS cables are much better then all I tried before
including VDH, Cardas,HMS and Audio Tekne.
Highly recommended.

IMO

A lot of people like Cardas but, I think they are uninvolving, slow and lackluster. Thick in the bass too as well as having a small image size.

They do present midrange information nicely and with a fair amount of detail but still are too polite for my taste.
More to discover
