Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous

I now have a Dominus powercord on my Gryphon Antileon and the Dominus digital between my krell dt10 and Ref64. Since I can't afford more dominus cables I will get me a Aqueous powercord for the drive and dac and one for my pre (krell krc-hr)
But I want more ! so I'm very much in doubt of interonnects and speakercable. I've read many reviews here but I can't make a choice between the Venustas and Aqueous. I do need 2 interconnect and a cable to my Avalon Ascendant. What I want:

Price between the to cables is not an issue
I do love a wide and open mid and high
I don't need any more slam or foundation in the bass

Is there someone who can advise me on this ? I've been talking to Jim several times now but I just can't get it clear.

Boa2, since you have both, I assume you made A-B comparisons. What are these "huge" differences?
In this thread from last week, I posted my impressions concerning the differences between the two.

I don't think there would be any discernable any sonic difference between Venustas and Aqueous
There is a huge difference between the two. I own both, and would suggest that Raytebeest would prefer the Aqueous IC's, as they are closer to the above-listed criteria than are the Venustas. As far as the speaker cables are concerned, we use the Aqueous in our system, which are sonically equivalent to the IC's. I have not heard the Venustas.

Boa2, thanks, I just read that other thread. I can only conclude that in my (very articulate) system, the Venustas probably sound just like the Aqueous does in your system.
I wouldn't know, other than to say that I thought the Venustas were extended and transparent until I heard the Aqueous.
