Interconnect are Siltech SQ-28G5 XLR
I also use a Hydra-2 (amplifier) and Hydra-4 (Cd and preamp) with Python Alpha.

Utopia, Your question should capture quite a few audiophiles attention, and because I'm very impressed with and I love the combination of equipment you've selected in the Wadia, Ayre, JM Lab, and " Siltech," I'm going to bite, even though I don't know anything about your other gear, I'm sure it's excellent. So, my opinion is very simple. Assuming you love the wonderfull balanced Siltech interconect, why not go with a wonderfull Siltech speaker cable that you can afford, so you can keep the chain as consistant as posible. Stop worrying and just enjoy the music. Wadia, Ayre, and JM Lab,all wired with siltech, seems sweet to me.

Having heard the brands you listed in my tube system and SS system I prefer the Ridge Street Audio Poeima. Keep in mind all interconnects and speaker cables can be system dependent.

I agree with Gslone. Stick with Siltech. Also, I have to share this; my Mini Utopias love Walker High Definition Links.
