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?

Put them under a blanket. Especially at night. With some milk and cookies.

@letch sorry for the late reply!

I received the Duelund cables and sold them off a couple of weeks later. they were decently put together by the company I ordered them from but there was a rather strong smell from the cables, similar to machine oil.. it saturated my listening room and I decided they had to go. sound wise they were OK, nothing immediately stood out. felt they lacked a bit of low end punchiness. 

right now I'm using Tellurium Q Black Diamond and Atlas Audio Mavros Grun speaker cables. they're both very good, dynamic, not bright sounding. I pretty much blew my budget on these cables but upside is I won't be changing them out anytime soon.
