i have a similar setup - 4 pse studio V monoblocks with alon II's.
what interconnects are you using on the top and bottom amp ?
here are some suggestions, i hope they are helpful.
1. can you double mount the kimber bifocal ? you might be able to do this by adding bannana adapters.
2. Van Den Hul The Revelation. was reviewed and recommended by sterophile in the mid 90's. i agree with the review - awesome bass performance, will pressurize the room and is also very musical. i have had a hard time not using this on the top end ( a little pulled back on the top imo). it is hard to find but not too much $300 - $350 for 8 feet used ( orig. $1100)
3. xlo type 5 - still state of the art in regards to bass. very fast cable and images well. lower mid getes a little lean ( $300 used for 8 foot pair - $1000 orig)
4. i have owned the satori and the tara labs master gen I( really stiff stuff that is seperate cables and has a light candy strip - it wasnt bad it is really really stiff.
i tried the satori and found it a rolled off on the top and nothing great on the bottom ( i was really surprised since this cable has been well reviewed - it wasnt bad but there was no extension at the extemes - nice mid though.
it is really hard since you are using the straightwire cresendo- i use the straight wire cresendo interconnects and it the best interconnect i have had in my system so far. very big, controlled, dynamic, detailed sound.
though i havent tried them, i would consider some other straightwire speaker cables ( used to own a original pair of maestros- cable was a little bright but awesome bass control- was a good match with cj tbe gear of the day)
hope that helps,
mike
