I owned the Air 1's for a while. They are very neutral cables that are tonally balanced. If that is your price range then I recommend them. However, I would look for a used pair of Tara Labs The One on Audiogon. They are a huge jump in performance over the Air series. Having said that you can't go wrong with any Tara Labs. They are all I have ever used in my system. I have tried other cables and you just can't beat the tara labs once you get to the air series and up.
I own the Omega's now. The performance is mind blowing(so is the price but the're worth it).
