Which cables and ics allow the biggest soundstage?

I enjoy cables that allow the music to pour through not constricting the sound and its subsequent effect being a large soundstage.

For those who have tried numerous cables, I'm wondering which ones (no more than $750 used for ic's and $1500 for speaker cables) have given you the biggest soundstage and if you think a certain type of design is better at this than others (i.e. solid core).

How about speaker placement, and treating first, and second reflection points?

cables?...good luck. (I know, thats not what you asked...I couldn't help it though).

I'm running a 300 SET amp and cables required are typical 1m interconnects with 6 foot speaker cables.

For soundstage and spatial information I prefer solid core cables. I'm using Audioquest Slate right now and have used more expensive cables in their line.
Quite a few cables have spent time in my system and everytime I go back to a solid core design I notice a spatial enhancement. Actually, solid cables are the only type that I hear a marked difference.
