Cables and connects for Meadowlark Kestrel II

I owned the K2s, so I know the sound. I found them a bit laid back, so I used cables that were not of that balance.
I'm using Grover Huffman ZXs now, and I think they would be a very good match, as the ZX are very fast and dynamic, and very cleanly detailed without euphonic coloration or emphasis.
They are in your price range, and GH offers a trial guarantee.

Truly, there are so many cables out there that it's impossible to know what you'll like until you try. That's why a money-back guarantee is very cool for someone in your position. That said, I would check out Black Cat Lectralines. They fit into your budget, sound great and have a money-back. They were designed by Chris Sommivego, who designed the Stereovox cables that were very highly reviewed, but expensive. Good luck.

Thanks for advice Brf; budget in the $1000 range for connects and speaker cable
