Best speaker cable for Genesis speakers

I am looking to upgrade my speaker cable, and am hoping to get some feedback as to what would be some good candidates to audition. My speakers are the Genesis 4 tower units. Currently I use the Shunyata Orion to run from my Levinson 33H's to the Mid/tweeter towers. This is the cable I am looking to upgrade. I'm not sure that bass response of a particular cable is important, because as I said, this cable is just going from the Levinsons to the mid/tweeter towers, obviously handling the midrange and tweeter ranges only. So, do I only care about the mid to upper performance of a speaker cable, and if so, what is a top candidate to consider? As for the Shunyata Orion....I have no complaints, the system sounds awesome......but I also don't know if there is an opportunity to considerably improve the sound with a cable upgrade, or if it would be a sideways move!!

Hey there...hope you've been well! Try Tara Labs The One and 0.8. What are you doing for your bass units?

Hey Mark, good to hear from you! My bass towers are using some kind of Genesis proprietary design....very expensive and recommended by the manufacturer, so don't want to touch that one at this time anyways! Though about Tara lots, but, are they like Synergistics.....where they have an electric current or battery pack "insulating" the signal?? I tried the Synergistics and really liked it, but, it charged my whole room with static....ended up shorting out my movie processor and had to ship accross the country to repair it.......so a little shy about that active shielding thing!! I think essentially what I need is a speaker cable who's strengths are in its mids and top end.

The Tara cables do not have active shielding of any kind. With the The One and 0.8 I'm sure you'll be very happy with the mids and top-end. They also have bass that is extremely impressive. Another very noticeable difference I found is that they project a much larger soundstage in all directions....have a great day! As always, it is great to hear from you...
