Best brand of cable for B&W N802?

I have been using Purist Audio Design Proteous rev B for 5 years now. I have recently purchased a pair of Transparent Ultra XL and compared them. I found the PAD to be more lively and realistic and the Ultra a little more like a reproduced sound. I am using a Krell AVS and 300S and I am curious if there is anyone that has tried NBS or PS Audio Lab Cables, etc. Please tell me how you selected your cable.

I used Zu Cable Wax. I actually bought them on Audiogon!

Sound good, and they offer oversized spades which is a NICE fit for the speakers.

Try Acoustic Zen Hologram cables. They work extremely well with the N802's.

I have now compared my Purist Proteous with Transparent Super & Ultra XL, & NBS Master III. Durring my comparrison I found myself liking them all for their independant characteristics but the Proteous was like a worn glove. I kept liking my return to them with both the interconnect and speaker cable. The NBS would be a great match if you can afford to move up the line like Omega 1, but my wife was the deciding factor in that she only liked the PAD Proteous.
