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?

Cables are cables.  They do not make any sound cold or warm...

However, if you really want the warmest cables, use a 36 gauge or higher cable and pump about 300 watts thru it.  They will indeed get very warm :-)

@cakyol .

I think you are on to a bright idea… maybe make it out of a more electrical resistant material and put it in a vacuum so it doesn’t burn up.

Over 110 degrees in the Seattle area without air conditioning.  Speaker cables, interconnects, wifi it all sounded warm
