Audioquest DBS vs Synergistic Research Tesla?

I'm looking to buy a good cable between my tube amp (ASL Hurricane) and speakers (Duntech Sovereign). I have a biamped system and the main use would be only for the highs.

I think that this two brands have a very similar approach in shielding and metal conductors. As I cannot heard this cables, I want to know if do you think that there is a clear winner between both brands?

I prefer synergistic research hands down, I've never tried the sky or whatever the top audioquest speaker cable is, or the top Tesla SR cables, but in terms of whether DBS or Active shielding is better, Synergistic wins easily. I owned generation 1 Alpha Quad X2 active speaker cables, and then I owned Panther DBS 2m XLRs that went from my dac into active speakers.

Carlesdg,
When is a hood scoop ever better than a turbo charger? (This is not a trick question). SR's Active Shielding is the turbo charger while AQ's DBS is the hood scoop; be it interconnect or speaker cable, SR's Active Sheilding is the more powerfull technology and the better cable. Listen to both at home and you be the judge.

In a pre-amp to power amps set up would an AQ dbs interconnect work well with a SR tesla lE x4 set of speaker cables? would a cardas neutral reference or golden IC work well w/the SR active speaker cables?
