"romantic" sounding cabling

Hi folks, it is probably a contradictio in terminis thing in audio, but I'm looking for audio cables (interconnects, power cords) that have a touch of romantic flavour to their sound, that means a bit soft and elegant character, somewhat subdued (not edgy) highs, but with excellent resolution and good imaging (not diffuse). They should not be the über expensive cables like Purist Audio Dominus or Nordost Valhalla. Could Kubala-Sosna Emotion be a contender? Thank you in advance.

The original Stealth Premier copper litz speaker cables are very warm and romantic sounding. These cables were ideal for my Rotel amplifier and B&W Cdm1NT monitors( my first system I built when I got back into audio six years ago)

Magnan V i- Phospher Bronze conductors and lush, lush, lush. I remember this cable when I was a budding audiophile and thinking "wow $500 for a pair of interconnects, perhaps someday"

i owned the magnan v i. they are not overly warm, but are not egregiously objectionable. i would say the cable may be slightly warm of neutral. if they were more forgiving, i would still own them today.

i have not found a very warm cable, having auditioned many cable products as well as having auditioned other cables at shows.
