Clio09, I would suggest that you audtion one of Acoustic Zen's speaker wires. The Satori at around $650.00 is just a great bargain and really matches with many systems that I have heard. The Hologram II is another wonderful sounding speaker wire that costs around $1100.00 and is a refinement of the sound of the Satori. In my system that I bi-amp when I audtioned the two wires I decided on the less expensive Satori because the performance was so close I decided not spend the extra money. Recently, I replaced the Satori with AZ's new wire,the Absolute, which is a couple of steps up based on its sonic performance, however it costs $2800.00. I could have easily lived with the less expensive Satori which sounded great in my system, but treated myself to the higher performance of the Absolute at a much more stiffer price. I hope you consider listening to one of the AZ wires in your audtion process because its performance vs. cost ratio is a great bargain. A final note I had audtioned Blue Heaven,Red Dawn,and finally Vallhala in my system and found all the Nordost cables not very musical even if their quite detailed and transparent. That's just my personnal taste and not trying to put down Nordost products that I know that many other people enjoy. Hope this helps.
