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

I replaced Blue Heaven with the AC MI2 and preferred the tone and presentation even though the BH was more detailed and extended (especially in the highs)

thank you, I will look into the jena labs twin 15, it sounds good especially the fact that you like the bass response too. That is something i miss about the MI2 it had good slam in the bass region even though it was a little thick.

I would really recommend the Alpha Core MI2 and Acoustic Zen Satori to most people but I am greedy and wanted the best of both. Especially the Satori in the right system could really sing, the MI2 is a little down in most performace aspects though tuneful.

thanks guys
