kimber silver streak vs Audioquest colorado

I am currently looking for a cable to run my Cary audio slp-98p preamp to my cad120s power amp. I have already bought a 1 meter pair of silver streaks for my cary cd303t sacd player to my old sli-80. And using them in my new upgraded system to my new preamp to my cd player. Which works wonders with the cd player to the preamp. When I demoed my preamp to my power amp at the dealer, he hocked up Audioquest Colorado interconnects between the two. So wondering which of this 2 is a better buy? From the preamp to the power amp.

I need to consider are.
-need at least 1.5meter pair to reach my floor power amp stand so Colorado gets more pricey then the silver streaks with the WBT 0147 ends at that length.
-my speaker cables are Kimber Kable 12tc with WBT bananas 15' long
-speakers totem forests
-run my amp in just triode mode both phono and cd.
-which gives more defined throaty bass (sub Like) which totem forests are known for.
-yet give a clean clear image of things.

Sticking with only these 2 cables since have been tried at the dealer.

I have the AQ and I've heard the Kimber. For me, the AQ is a better cable overall. Also, I never like anything silver between an amp and a preamp.

If price is an issue, there is not a huge difference between Colorado and Columbia. Or even between Jaguar and Panther. I remember when Colorado and Columbia first came out, Cable Company was saying they only released them to get fresh reviews. I currently have several pairs of all 4 and can tell you they're all great.
