Purist Audio Design Character and tone

Since I don't have any dealers locally that carry this cable I was curious if anybody could explain to me the character or tone it gives a system. I currently use a mixture of Harmonic Technology and Audience Maestro cables but have been thinking of replacing my Audience speaker cables with HT Pro 9 Plus speaker cables to match my HT Prosilway mk II's. On more then one occasion however a person has recommended both Carda's and PAD cables.

If I went the PAD root I'd most likely look at the Musaeus lineup because finacially it makes the most sense. I currently use a Krell/Totem combo and I'm looking for an increase in warmth and tighter bass response. I find Harmonic Technology cables usually do this quite well and also lower the noise floor. My musical tastes are mostly current alt/rock so I'd love to add warmth but not at the expense of limiting dynamic's or making my speakers sound even more laid back. I like the occasional punchy sound hence the reason I have Krell with Totem.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Skip the Musaeus if you want to try Purist for newer Aqueous or Venustas if you can. I am not familiar with the totally revised Elementa; it can be good. But you know, before you might want to do that, give DiMarzio M-path interconnects and Super M-path speaker cables a try. For $160 1.0 M pair M-path RCAs are very very good. I use them and I use older Purist cables. And I am very serious about cables. DiMarzio interconnects work well with Purist speaker cables in my system. If I could I would of course replace them all with Purist Proteus Praesto Revision.
Cheaper Purist is not likely to give you enough of high frequency extension and tight bass.
