A bit of background on my recommendations above: I've heard the speaker cables I mentioned over the long haul in my system with two different pairs of high-res full range speakers, four very different amps (largish SS, 300B and PX25 SETs as well as 300B P-P) and four different preamps - SS, tube and passive. The character of the speaker cables has remained both identifiable and constant throughout.
Trying to judge what a particular speaker cable will do in someone else's system, using equipment you've never heard, in combinations you've never heard, in a room you don't know, is a crapshoot at best. IMO, however, the largest variable is the other person's perceptions. Those are truly unknowable, and what sounds lean and forward (or warm and sluggish) to me may be interpreted as dead neutral by someone else - or vice versa, obviously.
I think we all understand that any recommendations here are based solely on the experiences of the recommenders. The best we can do is treat the board as a kind of "Delphi poll" where experienced people contribute personal observations and the final "recommendation set" is formed by a sort of ad hoc synthesis. That's a polite way of saying any single opinion on this board is barely worth the electrons it's printed on, and the best our suggestions can provide is some idea of what might be interesting for the questioner to try for themselves.
