Sound signature of AudioQuest?

I have a middle of the road system: Rotel electronics (200 Wpc) + B&W 804 + cheapest Nordost interconnects + bi-wiring of speakers using 12AWG white commodity-type cable.

I'm being offered a good deal on used AQ CV-6 (w/DBS) speaker cable and Jaguar (w/DBS) interconnects. I have yet to listen to the combo, but I haven't been shopping cables around and would like your opinion about their sound signature and its matching with the signature of the rest of my system. I'd be out of my mind to buy new, as the price is way too high compared to that of my electronics, but the offered price makes it a temptation.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Just got a pair Jaguars between CDP and my integ amp, I have to agree with Alanbrain.
compared to my signal calbe analog II's it almost sounds louder in the same volume level with the Jaguars.
much more focused.. vocal sounds as if the singer's been starved with the signal cables compared to the Jaguars.

Yet, it does not sound brighter either- actually sounds a bit warmer and smoother, yet tighter..yup.

now I'm a believer of highe end ICs.

I'm recieving a pair of Cardas quadlink 5Cs in a couple of days, I'll see which one wins in my system
