Cardas or Audioquest for this System

I have the system listed below and I am about to purchase interconnects (XLR) and speaker cables. 

I’m on the fence between Cardas Clear interconnects and cables OR Audioquest Thunderbird interconnects and cables - can you guys offer reasons why to pick one over the other? 

If I go the audioquest route I’m planning to get the full spectrum thunderbird speaker cables with audioquest jumpers. Not going to do the biwire configuration.

 

EVERSOLO A8 Streamer

PASS LABS XP-20 preamp

PASS LABS XA30.8 power amp

Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers

Likely Audioquest. On systems with a tendancy for being a bit hot or lean, Cardas is a better match. None of your components have that tendency. So probably Audioquest.

Third vote for Audioquest. They have terrific synergy with your Pass amp/preamp combo.

This is the info I was hoping for. Thank you all. Placing an order for AQ Thunderbird ZERO Full Range speaker cables and thunderbird interconnects 

Any experience that would suggest I should look at a different cable other than thunderbird line?
