Worthy upgrade?

I recently upgraded my system to a McIntosh 9500 integrated and Sonus faber Serafinos. My sources are Innuos Zenith Mk 3 and VPI Prime with Valhalla tonearm cable and a Soundsmith Zephyr Mimic Star cartridge. Most of my cables are Nordost Heimdall 2, with an Audioquest Hurricane power cable to the integrated. My current speaker cables are Nordost Heimdall Frey 2.  

Now my question is whether a speaker cable upgrade would be crazy? In upgrading the speakers I thought a speaker cable upgrade was in order. I tried the Nordost Tyr 2.  I heard a significant improvement in the sound. But, is the upgrade ridiculous in terms of the rest of my system?

This may be a stupid question so please be gentle. 😎

thanks.

I have found that my Amati G5’s play well with almost everything I’ve plugged them into. Currently I’m bouncing back and forth between a Hegel H390 integrated and PS Audio BHK Signature preamp and BHK300 mono blocks.  They both sound different, but they both sound very good. And as far as speaker cables, I’m using Audio Art’s AAC Statement e SC Cryo’s with Rhodium bananas. Are they the best out there, no, but I doubt I’ll be buying another pair of speaker cables. I’ll be changing my DAC first and then maybe my amplification.

All the best.
