Looking for new speaker cables

I’ve been using Audience AU24SE cables for a few years and really like them. They have all the detail, air, and speed I need. If anything, they might lack a bit of body. That’s my ideal, all those good qualities but just more body. Not to the point of being thick or slow, though. Does that make sense?

I’ve recently tried the Tubulus Concentus and Fidelium but will continue looking. The newer Audience SX and Front Row cables are said to be way better than my SEs. I remember when the SX came out everyone said it was basically a new direction in sound for Audience. So they are a potential candidate, if anything the Front Row. I’ve also read good things on the Townshend Fractal cables here. Budget probably up to $7-8k but $4-5k is the comfort area.

Looking for suggestions that might work. Air, speed, and a more body than the SEs. Haven’t called the Cable Company on this yet, just looking for user or listener experiences at this point.

What equipment do you have? I'd recommend putting some photos and identifying the components under your UserID as a virtual system. That will help us get a good feel for your system. 

If I want the sound of the components to come through I buy Transparent. I have experience with a number of other ones. I have experience with them for decades... although for the first few decades, always used and the lower tier. Now I use Gen 6 Ultra. If you can afford a higher tier, they are worth it.
