Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion

Hi folks
I recently bought a pair of Nordost BH speaker cables, after many hours of burn in (they were used, however) the sound still being lean, harsh in the upper frequencies and after all they lack some weight.
I'm now looking for a fair neutral, big soundstage, and with a lot of punch and kick in the bass region pair of speaker cables.

Right now I'm using Nac A5 with better results.

Bouget 500 bucks more of less.

lenght required 4mt - about 13ft

the rig is the follow:

ampli: hegel h100
speakers: Ruark Talisman II
cdp: Naim cd5i
analog source: Rega P5
Ics: virtual dinamics

ps. where I live now I'm not able to audion any cable, so any advice is very welcome.

As always in audio, there are horses for courses. I keep every piece of wire I ever bought in the last 30 years.
You may be SURE what sounds crappy on one system will sound good on another.
Your Mileage won't vary.

13 ft is a lot, my choice would be DH labs or AudioArt, sound good with about anything,easy to live with. IF you could find a pr of MIT AVT 1 that long be good as well.

Looking on A-gon, I see a 12 ft pair of Analsis Plus Oval black SC for $450. If 12 feet would do, you would get a great souding cable overall with good soundstage and OUTSTANDING bass ! A+ as its called,is one of the very best audio companies with great service as well.

Rockness87, I have owned all the cables you mention except the Acoustic Zen which I have not heard.
Oval 9 is the best, in the base it might well be the best cable available. Chord is not great in bass.
SC5 is a great value, good all around , Oval 9 is a step up but I could live with SC5.
