Suggestion for speaker cable for aerial acoustics 7T

Hi guys, I recently bought aerial acoustics 7T: Have Naim unit nova and tried Audioquest Rocket 33 biwire. Now trying Clarus Aqua biwire. Both wires are different: Rocket 33 is just basic with slightly better on highs. Clarus aqua is good with bass and sound stage: It mellows down the highs and mids. I am still in search of better speaker cable. Don't get me wrong, the speakers are great and I love listening with either of those wires. Just want to complete my set up with best speaker cable to match these amazing speakers without burning cash (Looking to spend ~ < 1000 $). If you think, spending on speaker cables are like spending on "snake oil", PLEASE do not comment. Thanks in advance.

 I use Wireworld Eclipse 7 on my Totem Acoustics Forest Signatures driven by a Levinson no.334. They are very natural sounding, warm, great bass. Highs are very extended. Midrange is right there as well. 

I've heard Aerial 7T with Wireworld Eclipse 7 driven by BAT Equipment and Aerial 5T 's driven by an Ayre A-X5 Twenty using Cardas Clear Speaker cables. Both systems were set-up at Audible Elegance in Cincinnati, Ohio. Highly recommended cables. 

The Audioquest Oak are solid too. Highly recommended. Arcam88 here on audiogon has a pair driving ATC SM40's. He's using a 200 watt Anthem STR Integrated Amp with ecellent results. 

I believe there is a pair of Wireworld Eclipse 7's posted in your price range listed here. Good luck!

You should be able to find a used pair of Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8’s in 6-8 foot lengths for $1000-$1200.

They offer great musicality with great bass (8 gauge copper) and great detail.  Whats really cool though is how open the midrange becomes and the incredible separation between musical instruments (not so much with regards to soundstage but with regards on musical intelligibility / how you understand the music).

 The way they untangle complex musical passages is outstanding.  Once you pick up on how they don’t smear certain frequencies, it’s hard to go back!

Ask those other cable companies to show you their measurements.

I use Audience Conductor SE cable on my Aerial 5T’s. Nice open full sound.

Great input. I got canare 4s11 and like it. I am surprised how good they are for the price. It does try to separate highs and bids much better than my rocket 33. Soundstage is also better. I still think so far clarus aqua is very good in 3d soundstage and overall. Will run these wires for little longer and decide soon on premium wires. Still trying to figure out. It is so exciting to see how different wires adds different flavors to your music (separation, soundstage, mellowing, sharpness, clarity, bass.... ). Love this hobby, as long as it does not burn my wallet.
