warmest speaker cables you've heard?

I'm looking for a short length of speaker cables, which i need to be as warm as possible..
Price wise, looking at USD700 and below for 1m length pair.

it'll be placed in between an Apollon stereo 1et400a power amp and a RAAL-requisite SR1a speaker adaptor box.
The SR1a is ruthless and clinical and I am looking to add as much warmth as I can. 

Assume the rest of the gear and interconnects have been decided/cannot be swapped out. So just left with the speaker cables to sort out.

I've been told the following are good candidates:
Kimber 8TC
Tellurium Q Black II
Tellurium Ultra Blue

Anything else I should be looking at?

All speaker wires must come in the following temperature configurations:
Warm
Medium-Warm
Medium-Cold
Cold.
Maybe Tide should come out with a line of cables. 🤔

But honestly folks, if your system is a tad bright and you need warm sounding cables to ameliorate that, that will not take you back to neutrality. It's just a sideways move to make it more pleasant sounding, which is what the OP was asking for. 

All the best,

Raven Audio makes some decent cables. They're a tube amp company (Nighthawk is stellar, and would give the likes of Hegel 95 a run for their money), and their cables kind of carry this sound signature. This is just my ear's review.
