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. šŸ˜Ž

thanks.

Given that the goal of an upgrade is to improve oneā€™s system, if you can afford it, I donā€™t see why not. You already heard ā€œsignificantā€ improvement. The only question I would have is: could I spend less money somewhere else in the system and obtain better performance? Keep in mind that the rest of your system will most likely change too overtime. Thatā€™s the nature of the game. My 2 cents: significant improvements are not usually easy to come, thread wisely.
