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?

Wire is not a tone control
Or perhaps everything is tone control

The nice thing about the value oriented Canare 4s11 is that they are naturally a biwire cable.

I bought the Kimber 8s based on a Roy's recommendation
for my sensitive hearing. Like them for $300. They are much warmer
than say Nordost but I have not tried everything. 

That said my friend Danny Richie is now offering a cable that will
be well under your price and comes with a 30 day trial. GR Research.
Assembly required.

The most warm cables in my experience are monster cable z3 speaker cables for a bright system and electronics but they are still good wires.
