Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000

I am probably going to get knocked around for the use of that mysterious word "MUSICAL" in this tread. However would like some input from members who have tried a lot of speaker cables: and would like to know what is most musical sounding speaker cable you have ever owned or presently own under $800. Multiple choices is also good.

FOR ME, the term "musical means" listenable, and holding the listener's attention, and satisfying. Also, it means very smooth without sounding warm or fuzzy. Lastly, it means....a unique presentation of the musical event never heard or experienced before.

Or,... is it also: more detail?? more musical cues that convey the music and its acoustic space? or a richer palette of tonal color and harmonics??? I am sure it is heard and defined differently by everyone

I know not everyone on A-gon likes them, but I have a pair of LAT International SS1000 Mk II. They're a copper/silver hybrid. My experience is that they are smooth, detailed, and have good extension at the extremes. Their speaker cables and top of the line ICs are both about $500. I'm very pleased with them.

Bojak suggest that because of a study done by McIntosh there can be no difference in speaker cable. Digital "jitter" was similarly dismissed early in the introduction of CD. Some people ridiculed others who heard this distortion and maintained that digital error correction reassembled the analog wave with no artifacts. Turns out after a period of time technologists found a way to measure jitter and reduce it and it is now a measurement used in many comparisons of digital equipment. Trust your ears. It is likely we haven't found a way to measure the differences some of hear between speaker cables.
Scientists once thought the earth was flat or the atom was the smallest particle of matter. We now know neither statement to be correct.
