Best speaker cables for merlin speakers?

Running simaudio w-5 power and p-5 preamp, what would be the best speaker cable for this system. I am looking for the best possible sound and at times I am completely content but on other occasions feel that something is missing. Sometimes I believe it to be the ic's.
My system consists of: vpi tnt with outer ring, graham 2.2 tonearm, sumiko blackbird, ear phonostage, sim p-5 and w-5, ic's purchased here Audioquest Lapis, Auricle Audio Design "Encore!" RCA, Above all audio - 1m Gold XLR .

WEll Bobby would recommend Cardas GR all around (i/cs and speaker cables) with Audience Au-24s second. I found the Au-24s a tad drier/more analytical and the CArdas a bit more relaxed. I am also beginning to experiment with Jade Audio Vermeil RCAs and so far am pleased with what I hear.

I use Reality sp. cables and ic`s with my merlins. Love `em. I know of a couple of merlin owners who actually sold their cardas and AU24 wires and switched to reality cables when they tried them.

In fact, I liked his sp. cables and ic`s so much, I bought one of his pc`s for my amp.

Well, the Cardas Golden Ref, maybe the Golden Presence if singlewired with Merlin Jumpers.

Which version of which Merlin Speakers? SE vs. M vs. MX/MM vs. MXe/MMe ???? VSM or TSM?

I know Sig. Sound/Merlin showed with Sim Audio in NYC using JPS Wires I believe.
