A great cable ,and if found used even better the Analysis plus
Solo Crystal 8 Loudspeaker cable. This is a AWG -8 gauge wire
Using AP oval tube and weave. This Loudspeaker cable has Outstanding Bass! big soundstage, Deep fleshed out midrange and open defined top end ,use a very good fast interconnect, AP New In-connect, is a great value
Revelation Audio Labs, or Darwin's new Ascention Plus ,all very good
And can be bought for under$700 that will go toe to toe with anything
2x their cost.

Try oval 9-never found more bass from a cable. With their crystal oval interconnect you cant go wrong. Cardas is warm but smears the images-ditto for Purist. They are slow cables.

Since you are using a good SS amp, just beware of the fact that higher capacitance speaker cables like Kimber and especially some Cardas product can sometimes drive the amp into oscillation and can cause it to fail.

An acquaintance blew two very good SS amps with a pair of Cardas speaker cables, both amps in the $8 - $10k price range.

Naim warns of this issue on their Web site

If you want cables that are full bodied, try KLEI gZero6.

They work exceptionally well with my Naim
