I enjoyed Oval 9's in a system I had once, and I didn't enjoy two different Transparent cables (Music Wave and something else). Systems matter, but I would pick the Oval 9 based on my limited experiences.
That said, I'd look for Cardas, Kimber or Tara in that same price range. Especially if you can get some Tara stuff from the "decade" days at a bargain, it will blow away the mid priced stuff from HT and Transparent.
