Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters

I currently have a Rogue Audio Magnum power amp, Rogue Preamp, Triton 5 speakers with 2 SVS subwoofers,
and a Cary Audio CD player. My current speaker cable is by Discovery Cable. Looking to upgrade my cable and
was recommended the Nordost White Lightening which retails for $377.00 a pair for 2 meters and the Nordost Purple Flare, both in the Leif family of Nordost for $500.00 per pair  for 2 meters. In short my budget is
 $500.00 per pair. If there is any other cable that can be recommended in my price range that my be superior
 I would appreciate any suggestions.  Looking for the best use of the $500.00.

Sigh. This is what I would do if seeking advice on speaker cable selection.

1.  Ignore everyone that doesn't have your amp.
2.  Use a lending program from a dealer or usedcable.com
3.  If necessary and if #1 doesn't work, try cables that work very well for an alternate amp with similar audible characteristics to yours.

Corollaries:

Different horses for different courses.
Avoid bankruptcy.
Purchase used, if possible.

*THE END*

Well, since OP so far not willing to specify what kind of improvements he's looking for, I'll submit there's a 2m pair of Acoustic Zen Hologram II on eBay for $599.  Great all-around cable I'd think would be tough to beat at that price.  But then since we don't know the OP's tastes, who knows???  Just a crap shoot here.

Hi.  72 year old seasoned music lover.  I spent much time with a local cable designer in Maine who went up against the big boy stuff.  My most recent find has been working with Tim Stinson of Luminous Audio, a small, dedicated specialty company that has fair pricing and wonderfully musical, revealing products.  Highly recommended, kjl1065!
