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.

John, on some of the other threads which discussed the AA interconnects there was the general agreement that they take upwards of several hundred hours to break in. Do you have any thoughts regarding the break in time for the AA speaker cables?
All of your responses are much appreciated. It looks like I'm going to have an opportunity to audition some Silversmiths. If they wow me then that'll be the end of the search.
The Purist AA that I tried from the Cable Company were not as good as my Ridgestreet Poimia Speaker Cables.
I dont know, some people really like the Aqueous cables but I was not impressed.
However, I would like to try the Venustus
Give Gregg Straley's Reality speaker cables a listen. I am currently running these, biwired, and they are smooth and airy, but at the same time detailed without brightness, and my 200+ lb. speakers disappear nicely! He offers a trial period, so you have nothing to risk besides a little shipping cost. If they work for you, you just saved a ton of cash!

BTW, I have owned the Satori and Venustas in the past.
Second for Gregg Straley's cables!

I just this morning switched out my Hologram II's for the Reality cables and Mark is right on the money with his description, and that's right out of the gate, I expect they will improve over the next few days.
