Speaker Cables for Dynaudio Special 25

Looking for some ideas for further research and to narrow down my "A" list a bit. I just broke in my new Dynaudio Special 25's and Belles 21A Auricap pre and Ref. 150A amp. I plan on upgrading my speaker cables from the current Nordost Super Flatline Mk II. I was considering Shunyata as there is a local dealer to audition, Nordost Blue Heaven or Red Dawn, but am aware that there is lots of others to consider. I want a nice neutral wire that gives me all the information that comes from the amp. I am not looking to impress others with the cost but if it contributes greatly to the system I am not afraid to invest in a good set of cables. Thanks.

I had Special 25's for a while and found Kimber Monacle XL to work pretty good. Do not use Nordost......... They sounded like crap to me (both SPM, and Blue Heaven)......... Didn't like em, no way.

Jack,

The Nordost house sound is thin and also somehow out of phase to my ears. With the Special 25's they brought out too much midrange prominance (around 500-1K) and just made the speakers sound edgy and forward. The bass was pretty weak too.

Although I'm sure there is better, the Kimber's evened up the frequency response...... got rid of that forward midrange, and put the bottom back in. They sound a lot less mechanical to me....... more sweet and musical.
