Spk cable? SignalCable to Nordost Blue Heaven

Is it worth the upgrade? or if I should just put my $$$ elsewhere in my system?

My current signalCables are the biwire shotguns, about 2m which I got for about 80$. Now considering a small upgrade to some better speaker cables ~400$ and wondering if the Nordost Blue Heavens are worth it, or if I should just put my $$$ elsewhere in my system.

Current setup:
Tyler Ref Monitors (will mostly be upgrade with the year)
Plinius 8200 mkII int (probably upgrade to Concentra II within 2 years)
Muse model 9 gen4 sig cdp

Cables:
Ridge Street MSE gII interconnect
SignalCable speaker cable
Harmonic Tech PROAC11 PC
MapleShade block stands + feet

I have a shotgun of SignalCables after going through and spending a few thousand on other cables. Hold your money and invest in in a better use of upgrade dollars (CD player amp, etc..). The inexpensive and very well made signal cables perform as well as the top dollar ones I was using.

Agreed -The signal cable silver resolution is equal to or better than all Ive tried and Ive tried a bunch(Nordost, Purist,audioquest) -Put your money where it can be heard-such as better equipment- dont waste your time with high-dollar cables

i like my nordost blue heaven speaker cables, but then again i only needed a .6 meter pair so they were only about $275 for the pair at the time i purchased them. i can't say how they stack up against the signal cable, but i would never spend $400 on just a pair of speaker cables (though i am contemplating the $450 pair of paul speltz zero autoformers).

I would try the Signal Cable Silver Resolution series before spending money elsewhere. Although I have not tried their speaker cable yet, the Silver Resolution interconnect is simply amazing. Extreme purity with NO harshness, even before breakin. The Silver Resolution are a REAL bargain and can hold their own against cables costing several hundred dollars more.
