Speaker cables for Vandersteen 5As?

Any 5A owners out there using Nordost Valhalla? I was thinking about going the Valhalla route, but I'm also considering a biwired shotgun set of Audioquest Kilmanjaro.

I know Rich Hardesty and Shane Buettner both have 5As and
both use AudioQuest cables with great success.

I know to try before I buy, but I'm just looking for some real end user results and their comments.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to give the AQ Kilimanjaros a try- double run biwired set. I'll report back my impressions.

WOW! The Kilimajaros are absolutely incredible! They have taken my 5As to another level. The whole musical spectrum is completely balanced, with low level detail and resolution that is the best I've heard in my system. Very impressed.

Yes. Latest version direct from AQ with 72v DBS. Batteries were already connected. Sounding remarkable right out of the box. If it gets better with break-in, my smile will only widen! I can't tell you how pleased I am with these with the 5As. I'm also using a 1 meter Sky XLR 72v DBS from my preamp/dac to my amp.
