New speaker cables recommendations sought

Im looking for speaker cables with the following characteristics: warm, musical, atmospheric, and affordable (used are ok).
My current system is delineated in my profile, for mixing & matching. All recommendations appreciated. Thank you.

Historically, I’ve connected in the following way:
Amp: connect the positive cable to the bottom and the negative to the top.
Speaker: both go to the bottom with jumpers to the top.

I’ll A/B your set up today.

The Zavfino OCC Nova cables have arrived. They’re great looking, solid, well-made. Listened ~20 min to get a baseline. Now I’m using Tara Labs’ free burn-in broadcast which I’ll let it run ~15 hrs before I listen again.

It would have been a test nice to burn in one of the cables and see if it is possible to AB a difference.

I'm running 16 strand cables from GR Research. They replaced 12 gauge Analysis Plus cable. I am delighted with them. I would buy them again. Assemble them yourself, or purchase assembled, and terminated.

@gillsysb Costs about the same as the Zavfinos. I've only had limited break-in time but so far the sound I'm getting is quite pleasing. More to come...
