Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system!

Hello I could use some advice with speaker cable choices.  I am using a Marantz AV-7704 preamp, 2 Krell  KAV250a amps, and a Krell KAV 250/A3 amp.   The 3 amps are running to a pair of Martin Logan Request floor standing speakers, a Martin Logan Cinema center channel, and a pair of Martin Logan in ceiling surround speakers.  2 of the amps are bridged, one each dedicated to a Martin Logan stereo speaker, and the Krell 3 channel amp is running the center and rear surrounds. I listen to about 50% stereo music and 50% home theater.   I could really use some help and advice with stereo speaker cables for the Martin Logan stereo speakers.  All the high end shops in my area seem to have closed, so the ability to demo different cables is apparently not an option.  I am considering Audioquest Oak cables, but really open to suggestions, especially if you have used similar components with good results.  Thank you!!

Roberjerman, that is hilarious.  I am glad it works for you!  

I have a very old very basic set of monster cable.  I know I can do much better with my components.  I am looking for better soundstage, tone, depth, and detail.   I am using Audioquest water balanced interconnects.  Power cables are factory.  Thanks for any advice!

Thanks everyone.  I need 4-5 foot each. They are biwire at the speakers, so that is the desired configuration. I am not sure what adequate room treatment is, but I would say my room is a great size and a little “bright”. It has hardwood floors with an area rug that helps dampen reflection.  It is not a perfect room, and I am not looking for a perfect system, just a very substantial upgrade from what I have today.  Thanks for all the advice!

This is very helpful, thanks.  When you all say get demos from the “cable company” do you mean retailer or manufacturers?  I don’t have a good high end shop in my area.  Do the manufacturers offer these demos directly, or do you have to do it through a retailer?   Also, if anyone has experience with cables between Martin Logan speakers and Krell Amps, that would give me a good starting place (brands) to try.   Thanks for all the advice!
