What speaker cables work well with Nordost Valhall

I know cables are very system specific and everything depends on your other components, but has anyone had any success using particular speaker cables when mated with the Nordost Valhalla interconnects? I recently purchased some Valhalla interconnects and I am blown away, they are amazing cables. I am using Nordost Super Flatline speaker cables and I obviously need to upgrade. That being said, I think the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables are a little out of my price range. Any suggestions? If it helps I am using an integrated tube amp and Alon Lotus Elite speakers. Thanks

As mentioned above, Acoustic Zen ect., would be another great possible choice, but i would consider trying the BPT first for the money..
Thanks again,

I found originally Nordost Red Dawn to be really nice so I picked up a set of SPM speaker cables and have not looked back, I have since upgraded all my cables but not my speaker wire. You like NOrdost why not try a step or two down from Valhalla which would still be a big step up from flatline.

With your setup using Alon speakers, I would sugegst that you try some Alpha Core Goertz AG1 or AG2 speaker cables,Virtual Dynamics NIte or David, or perhaps Audio Magic Triniums. The secret to a good system match is to try and match the transfer spped of your cables throughout. The Valhallas are obviously very fast in this regard, so the above choices should be close to optimal for you.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will look at the Nordost SPM Ref and the Acoustic Zen stuff. Which Acoustic Zen wire would you guys suggest? How about Silver cables by Signal, Revelation audio labs, etc..? Would their speed match the Valhallas? Thanks

I would try the Acoustic Zen's Satori Shotgun or the Double Barrel if you can find a good used set.. If you can afford to purchase the Satori new, give them a try..
Also , if your talking about Signal Cables , Silver Resolution cables, then yes there good , but i don't think quite up to par for what you want..
Good luck,
Dave
