Good speaker cables for tube amp's??????

Just wondering if I could get some recommendations for speaker cables for tube monoblocks. I've noticed some speaker cables have the tendency to be on the warm side, which would be great for solid state, but tends to become too warm with tubes. I'm just looking for recommendations for speaker cables for tube equipment. So tube owners let me know. Thanks.

If they "sound" warm with SS amps it must not mean they will sound overly warm with tube amps. Just to mention it. Some cables sound great with SS amps and sound even better with tube amps, keep that in mind. Cheers!

These cables are open, detailed, and very three-dimensional with just the right tonal balance. Website: www.purenote.com
