What speaker cables work well with Nordost Valhall


I know cables are very system specific and everything depends on your other components, but has anyone had any success using particular speaker cables when mated with the Nordost Valhalla interconnects? I recently purchased some Valhalla interconnects and I am blown away, they are amazing cables. I am using Nordost Super Flatline speaker cables and I obviously need to upgrade. That being said, I think the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables are a little out of my price range. Any suggestions? If it helps I am using an integrated tube amp and Alon Lotus Elite speakers. Thanks

I made a few bucks selling all of my Valhalla cables for the Pure Note Paragons. In my system the Paragons trumped the Valhallas. FWIW.

I've been looking at the Paragons.
In what way did the Paragons trump the Valhallas?
You might wish to consider the Alpha Core Goertz cables. While the Valhalla is slightly lighweight in the midbass (both interconnect and speaker cable), the Alpha Core, which sounds extreeeeeemely close to it sonically, has a more powerful midbass, making images more solid. I think these two make a great match, one that I am using. Just be sure that your front end has very good midbass, because the Valhalla will most definitely "lighten" the weightiness of the sound.
Also, you could consider having the Valhallas retipped with the NextGen connectors, which Nordost will do --- for $500.00!! It does add more weight to the bass frequencies and gives the presentation more "gravitas."
As the last poster stated, the Valhallas are light in the lower mids. The highs are clear but a little hard, IMO.

The Paragons have better body and foundation. They present music authentically as I can attest to since I attend many concerts.
