Speaker cable upgrade from Analysis Plus Oval 12

I have been using Analysis Plus Oval 12 speaker cable for about 10 years. Overall, sound is good and clean. However, the upgrade bug has returned. What current speaker cable would be an audible upgrade from the Oval 12 without spending a lot of money.... I have a Creek SE 5350 Classic integrated amp(85RMS) and a pair of Silverline Preludes which are biwireable, which Silverline claims only makes marginal difference....I am possibly going to replace the Preludes in the next year with Totem Hawks or the new Usher Be718 monitors, but might just stay with what I got....All advice and opinions welcomed

I've had both the TOTEM ARROs and FORRESTs at tbe same time.(Since sold off)

If that is where you want to go, TOTEM's own speaker cable --TOTEM TRESS -- is recommended by TOTEM cuz that's what is internally wired in them. A close proxy on which the TRESS was modelled, is the CHORD ODYSSEY - both are silver over Cu. (Had these on the ARROs before I changed to TRESS and ATLAS below)

My best experience withe FORESTS was actually BI-AMPED with TOTEM TRESS to the tweeters and ATLAS ASCENTs on the woofers. The issue with TOTEMs is they need lots of grunt(myriad of posts in AGON on Totems requiring lots of amp current and watts to best perform)
