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 don’t understand the engineering differences. The only thing I know is that the music cleared up with the Tyr. The Frey did a good job of presenting the music, but but with the Tyr the music seemed more transparent. I could more easily tell where the performers were located in the soundstage. 

 

Thank you for your help and good questions
