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.

Looking at the already investigated Tubulus Concentus and Fidelium Cable, a 10' ft ( 3mtr) length is approx' $1300 - $1500.

With a Comfort Budget of $4K - $5K, does this suggest that the OP requires approx' 12mtr ( 36' ft ) lengths of the tried out Cable, or is there a want for a Cable that has a much increased price to ones tried out ?  

I can only suggest a wire type for the purpose, bring PC Triple C.

This wire if Purchased as a SAEC 850 ( Stranded ) or as Acoustic Revive Ref II ( Solid Core ) will get you to a very attractive influence on the sound for approx' $600 - $900 if a 10mtr (30'ft) length is the requirement.

Those I know who have converted to PC Triple C have added to other interfaces in their system as well, and it is also becoming a Upgrade Wire used between Xover and Drivers on the owned Speakers.

PC Triple C Wire when used is discernible for creating a perception a Lucidity is present like not before, Space has Grown between imagery, Soundstage has been Inflated with a few more pumps of the good stuff.

When PC Triple C is being compared to other Wire Types that have been used. It can be said as the perception being created to myself. Other Cables once used, when reintroduced to the system sound bogged down with colouration and have a discernible loss for expressing freedom, the Cable seems to have drawn a Curtain in front of the speakers.
