Can't comment on the first two but I tried Home Depot (2 varieties)Monster(original), Hovlands,Audioquest Crystal,Cardas Hexlink and Cross. But I bought the Pro9's. Much more than I wanted to spend on wire but really opened up my system without adding sybilence. I also really liked the bass and lack of grain. They sound great.

Hi GEO -- I am using the HT Pro9 in one system (Joule/Proac) and the Nordost Red Dawn in another (Transcendent/Gershman). If you need very fast cable and no additional bass extension, the Blue Heaven is probably a good choice. I like the bottom end of the Pro9 but the mids sound somehow artificial, for lack of a better word. By the way, how do you like your Spendor 9/1 floorstanders?

I am very very pleased with the Spendor 9/1. There are very neutral and very musical. The speaker has excellent tone and really drwas you into the music. I could not have made a better choice for the money ($2700). I listend to Merlines which I liked a lot. I preferred the Spendors to AP, Proacs, Meadowlarks, Thiels, Dynaudio and Joe Audio.
