Opinions on speaker cable upgrade


I've been on an upgrade binge and want to upgrade my Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns. Amp/preamp are tubed. Speakers are Von Schweikert 4 Jrs. If PAD Venustas were less expensive (and more available used), I'd go for those. I need biwired cable. Detail,and imaging important. I'd prefer hearing from those who are familiar with the AZ Satoris and/or the Venustas. Thanks in advance for all of your input. Budget is $1500 used.

Satori Shotguns are very good. But why not consider Double Barrel if you want to step up? I think that is Hologram/Satori combo. Give Lee a call an see what he says.
In any case, I beleive it'll be pretty tough to beat the Satori Shotgun.
I use biwired Venustas in a very high resolution system. They may be too laid back for a tube pre/amp combo. You might want to consider something in the Nordost family, e.g., SPM or Valkyrie, which might be more compatible with your electronics. Just one man's opinion.

My System:
Wyetech Opal Pre - Krell 300cx amp - Dodson 218 DAC - CEC TL-1X trans, RAM modded - Von Schweikert VR5 HSE spkrs. Valhalla, AQ Sky IC's, Stealth Sextet digicable.
Bander - You are looking at the right church, just in the wrong pew. I would take a hard look at the Purist Anniversary Aqueous speaker cables (bi-wire), which will fit your budget easily as long as the length you need isn't unusually long. Here's a secret - Purist measures the "fat" part of the cable for the length, so if you order a 1.5M cable, you really get a 1.9M cable end-to-end. The PAD AA cabes are better at the frequency extremes than the Venustas and really work well with the VSR's and are also a great choice with any tube amps. Good Luck!
Jwpstayman: You comment that "The PAD AA cabes are better at the frequency extremes than the Venustas"

What led you to that conclusion? Thanks.
dont mean to hijack the thread,but i order a 1 meter pad aqueos digital, the total length willl be 1.4 meters ?
