Does anyone have experienced with these speaker cables, and what should I expect?

*** I did post this last week, didn't get much responce, trying again. Thank you to the few who did reply.

I have SS equipment all Class A Krell, using Transparent Reference speaker cable today, excellent speed / great mid ,and full bass.
((( Lacking Piano / Strings ))))

I'm using Valhalla IC for Jazz and Rock/ Pop and Ridge Street Audio Silver Edition for Orchestra/ Strings

Speaker cables I tried
Siltech G5 Echo Bay (I found them a little thin on bass )
Valhalla ( Did not work at all )
Ensemble Meg good speed but lacking piano and vocals
Supra sword "Best Piano I have ever heard", lacking speed
Ridge Street Audio, Very good,** thin on mid bass/
very ,very close to what I'm looking for.( Love there IC excellent product, awsome prices )

Also anyone with experience with Harmonix HS101-SLC speaker cable ?

I'm looking for speed ,great bass extension as well as good mid bass, Strings - Piano and lush Vocals.

***IS THERE SUCH A BEAST OUT THERE ?

Thank You

Proy,
I have the Harmonix SLC speaker cables in my system- Eggleston Andras, Krell FPB600, Hovland HP100 with MC phono, Sim Audio Moon Eclipse CDP, VPI Scout JMW9 with Transfiguration Spirit Mk3 MC, Ic's are all Transparent Ref with XL, phono cable is a special half valhalla. In this system I have been able to try Kharma Enigma Reference, Nordost Valhalla, Silversmith silver, AP Solo oval 9, discovery essential, and a few others. My feeling (like many others) is that cabling helps you tune the system to your tastes. What is the cat's ass for one is simply litter box fodder for the next. In my system, to my ears, I much preferred the Harmonix to all the others regardless of cost. The valhallas were bass theives, the silversmiths were close to the Harmonix but not as tonally correct to my ears, the kharma just a bit too rich, and you get my drift. Just on a power cord note, I tried the Harmonix Studio Master on all the components in my system. While I liked it on my Eclipse CD player, the Shunyata Python did the trick for me. This could be because the Sim has been described as a bit cool or whitish on top and the Studio Master PC showed me how much. I thought you might want to hear my two cents as the valhalla speaker cable did not work for either of us. We are certainly in the minority on that one. I also love what the transparent cabling did for my system. I preferred it to valhalla between amp and preamp for example. I would say try the harmonix SLC if you can. It was the final piece in the puzzle for me to snap my system into the "I think I'm done!" category.

Whatever.
