For speakers like that, you really should move up the cable food chain, as othwerwise you are doing them a disservice. Try PAD Venustas, which I use and enjoy and used are not crazy expensive, or Nordost Valkyrje, which you can pick up at a good price used. There are others at this level of performance.

Kenbo,
I agree with Nglazer, your equipment deserves some higher price spread. You've got some top drawer stuff there. It should be connected with same. As to brand, that needs to be your choice through auditioning. May I suggest The Cable Company (fatwyre). Discuss your system with them and try different cables from their lending library. Good cables can make a world of difference in your enjoyment.
"The Cardas will give you a richer, fuller sound, the Nordost a faster, more transparent sound. The downside is the Cardas can sound slow, while the Nordost can sound lean."

This too has been my experience however... my new Synergistic Accelerator cables do both and better then the two companies you mention. I just replaced Valhalla's with the Accelerators and I've had Neutral Reference in the past. Just my 2 cents.
