My neighbor uses Cardas in his AR system. Neutral Reference, Golden Reference are the main ones but also has Golden Presence, Golden Cross. Sweet sounding system.
Buy a used pair of Cardas Golden Cross. They worked well with my Audio Research preamp. They will provide good soundstage and detail are somewhat cooler than the Cardas Cross which I think you would find to be too warm.
Most AR stuff needs something warm and a bit colored so I agree with the MIT,Cardas Golden,Transparent. Stay away from some of the revealing cables Stealth,Nordost,etc as they will enhance the leaness and congestion in some AR stuff
I agree with the MIT suggestion for ARC but I do not consider them (at least the "terminator" serires that I use) to be warm sounding at all nor particularly colored in any special way.
