Audience is a very safe bet for a cable that’s more relaxed and slightly warm without losing detail or extension. I use Au24 SX a lot and while it’s not the best absolutely speaking or in every situation, it’s very consistent and reliably musical. For less money Ohno is worth a try.
For even less money I’m current breaking in Mogami 3082 coaxial speaker cable which many swear by, will give it a serious listen this weekend.
If you want even more of a “warm and fuzzy” cable, some of the older Cardas models are an obvious choice. IMO those start getting you into the “abject coloration/detail loss” territory but that does help in some systems. The newer Clear line is much more neutral and less warm than Audience.
I think someone else mentioned to ditch any silver wire and I wholeheartedly agree, my inclination would be to stick to copper with any Focal speakers.
