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?

@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

All speaker wires must come in the following temperature configurations:
Warm
Medium-Warm
Medium-Cold
Cold.
Maybe Tide should come out with a line of cables. 🤔

But honestly folks, if your system is a tad bright and you need warm sounding cables to ameliorate that, that will not take you back to neutrality. It's just a sideways move to make it more pleasant sounding, which is what the OP was asking for. 

All the best,
