Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000


I am probably going to get knocked around for the use of that mysterious word "MUSICAL" in this tread. However would like some input from members who have tried a lot of speaker cables: and would like to know what is most musical sounding speaker cable you have ever owned or presently own under $800. Multiple choices is also good.

FOR ME, the term "musical means" listenable, and holding the listener's attention, and satisfying. Also, it means very smooth without sounding warm or fuzzy. Lastly, it means....a unique presentation of the musical event never heard or experienced before.

Or,... is it also: more detail?? more musical cues that convey the music and its acoustic space? or a richer palette of tonal color and harmonics??? I am sure it is heard and defined differently by everyone

If you want 'musical' cables the best IMO is copper ribbon cables, where the positive and negative legs are sandwiched together, separated by only a thin layer of double sided sticky Teflon tape.

You get a little bit of HF roll off, but in return everything seems to have an organic and liquid quality, while still retaining excellent detail and resolution. They are just great for a systems that need a bit of tuning.
I should also mention IMO flat copper ribbons are NOT so good for IC's, only for speaker cables.
