Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000

I am probably going to get knocked around for the use of that mysterious word "MUSICAL" in this tread. However would like some input from members who have tried a lot of speaker cables: and would like to know what is most musical sounding speaker cable you have ever owned or presently own under $800. Multiple choices is also good.

FOR ME, the term "musical means" listenable, and holding the listener's attention, and satisfying. Also, it means very smooth without sounding warm or fuzzy. Lastly, it means....a unique presentation of the musical event never heard or experienced before.

Or,... is it also: more detail?? more musical cues that convey the music and its acoustic space? or a richer palette of tonal color and harmonics??? I am sure it is heard and defined differently by everyone

Mogami 2921 biwire or biamp with Audioquest BFAs. Plenty of money left from the $1000 budget to make your system even more musical. In fact, go to Mogami 2549 RCAs also and you will still have lots left.

I am in no way saying that this cable is the only solution in your price range but in MY system, to MY ears, I've had great success with Crimson Cable. Cheap and incredible. Smoked Kimber Selects and Nordost Tyrs.

Jp1208 I am still in the search mode. I am going to be trying a set of granite audio cables and crimson next. I am currently using Straightwire Maestros until I find something that works better in my system. I was not knocking the clear day cables they just didn't work ideal in my rig. The owner of the company is a great guy to deal with and he told me when they were sent that they do not benefit every system.

I know not everyone on A-gon likes them, but I have a pair of LAT International SS1000 Mk II. They're a copper/silver hybrid. My experience is that they are smooth, detailed, and have good extension at the extremes. Their speaker cables and top of the line ICs are both about $500. I'm very pleased with them.
