Audioquest CV-6 or Monster M2.2

Hi,
I currently have the monster M2.2 as my speaker wires and someone recommended me the AQ CV-6. Are they substantially better than the monsters?
I just upgraded my interconnects from Monster M1000i to AQ Panthers to AQ Cheetahs DBS and the Cheetahs provided a hugh improvement on my system. Yes, the Cheetahs are substantially better than the Panthers. My whole system is at a different level right now in terms of transparency, detail, distortion and imaging (and yet neutral). I'm really happy about the Cheetahs.
I was considering the AQ Mont Blanc but they are very costly. If they are considerably better than the CV-6, I might consider them.
TIA

If you love the new sound of your AQ silver-conductor interconnects, you should consider the KE-6 speakercable. It uses 4 (not 3) pairs of Perfect-Surface Silver conductors in 4 different sizes and the DBS. I use that (with LOTS-less-expensive interconnects) driving my full-range Quad 989s and love it.

KE-6 is an excellent cable by any measure, but it is also much more expensive than Mont Blanc. I would suggest listening to KE-4, which IMO is MUCH better than both Mont Blanc and Volcano (which I owned), and only slightly inferior to KE-6, at half the price.
