Audio Physics Virgo II's - Cabling


Just wondering what speaker cables folks have tried.
I have a set of these speakers ordered and am now in need of a new set of cables.

The rest of my system is:
Plinius 8200 mkII SS Integrated amp
Ridge Street MSE II Interconnects
Muse Model 9 CDP

Forgive me for not having much experience in the audio arena and asking silly questions, but should I aim for copper or silver cables?

I will probably need a 6-10ft run so wouldn't mind suggestions of cabling under the 250$ used mark.
I've used and been happy with Signal Cable in the past.

the old distributor for ap reccomended fms...

i corresponded with ap in germany a while back and they wire the speakers with silver wire and voiced the speakers with wireworld gold eclipse... i did try a silver speaker cable ( audio sorcer if i remember correctly and it wasnt a good match, but adding one set of silver interconnects was pretty good ( tried the wireworld silver eclipse 5 between cd to pre) and another time the audioquest cheetah between my pre to amp...both were great individually but i never did get to try silver together...

they are pretty revealing speakers and will show any weakness in the chain... make sure you have upgraded your power cords or they will never sound right no matter what speaker cable you use...( went with audience pc's)

i have good success with soundstring speaker cables with my libra's (best so far- and i have tried at least 10 differnt cables from $250 to $2500)...

also heard the az satori was a good match(didnt try though)... btw, the dimarzio was good for the price with the libras but not the highest resolution (soft focus)

hope that helps,
