Opinions on speaker cable upgrade


I've been on an upgrade binge and want to upgrade my Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns. Amp/preamp are tubed. Speakers are Von Schweikert 4 Jrs. If PAD Venustas were less expensive (and more available used), I'd go for those. I need biwired cable. Detail,and imaging important. I'd prefer hearing from those who are familiar with the AZ Satoris and/or the Venustas. Thanks in advance for all of your input. Budget is $1500 used.

I like my Venustas, but they're single run. If you want a real bargain in a bi-wire, however, I'd like to suggest you keep an eye out for a PAD Musaeus. You'll get the same effective AWG (amount of wire) as in a single run of Venustas and therefore the same (or very close to the same) great sonics.
Jwpstayman: You comment that "The PAD AA cabes are better at the frequency extremes than the Venustas"

What led you to that conclusion? Thanks.
John, thanks for the report. Now I'm wondering if the AA's might be too detailed for my system (check it, you'll see what I mean) On the other hand, they're only making them for a year I understand, so maybe I should try a pair somewhere. Where would you recommend?
