A couple things come to mind....One is you may want to let the new cables run in for awhile before you make final judgement on them. Also understand that many of the things you describe are highly subjective and you will get MANY varied responses.
As for your cable budget, $1500 is a lot actually especially given the parameters of your current system. My default recommendation for guys seeking the qualities you describe is to:
1. Try a pair of Paul Speltz Anti-IC's that you can easily get used for $100.00, and gauge them against what you're looking for.
2. If you seek a little more detail, my experience is that the Audience AU-24 is hard to beat for many applications- and you can get a pair for under $300 used.
3. I'm not a silver-loving guy, but if you decide to go that route, I'd recommend picking up a pair of the Poeima cables and weighing those againt what you wish to hear.
Many others will chime in; none of us are "right", as again this is a very subjective subject within a subjective hobby!
