What is the best speaker cable for Maggies 3.6?

I am driving my Maggies 3.6 with a pair of blocs mono Linn KLIMAX. My listening tastes privilege the musical balance, speed and "air", as well as the tone harmony, rather than hearing every single tiny details.. In a nutshell, music that lives and breaths! I am hearing mainly jaxx, blues and (baroque)classical music.

I am considering buying used XLO Signature 5.1 or Reference cables, vs MIT 750/770. What would you recommand? Any other suggestions? Budget is less than $1000.

My system is LINN Ikemi + CHORD DAC64 + Spectral DMC30 + Linn Klimax 500.
Current cables are HT Platinum + Tara Decade + MIT-Spectral ULII-350CVT {same order}

It's possible that the Audience Au24's, which retail for $1100 for a 2.5meter pair, may just be unbeatable for the price.

Some to many, including Stereophile, have claimed them to be superior to the Valhallas, which so many seem to consider a benchmark in cable performance. And yet the Valhallas are 3 to 4 times the price.

I know one member 'Eagle' who uses the Au24's and thoroughly enjoys them. It was he who recommended that I give them a try. He drives the speakers with a McCormack DNA-2 Rev A Gold amplifier.

I'm very glad he did.

-IMO

Sorry, I meant to include that member Eagle enjoys the Au24's AND also owns the Maggie 3.6's. I think Eagle didn't catch that or state that either.
