I did quite a bit of research and spoke with a few dealers about Nordost Cables. Initially I was going to get entry level cables, but ended up moving up the line in the used market. Currently I use Quattro Fil XLR's and Red Dawn rev II speaker cables.
Reading from the specs, the Baldur just doesn't seem like it's much of an improvement over the Red Dawns and most folks I talked to agreed. I think if you are in the Norse line, the Heimdall would be the ones to get. They are the first in the nordost line to use micromonofilament technology and are not very expensive like valhallas.
In my system, the RD's do not sound lean at all. I would suggest you try the RD's and if you don't like them, move up to Heimdalls, instead of Baldur's.
