Since someone else suggested Transparent and your speakers don't have to carry huge current, I would think these worth trying.
You should have a good Transparent dealer nearby to be able to take some home and try.

I appreciate the recommendation. I may get around to trying them, but they aren't at the top of the list because I've been told they are strong in the bass and mellow on top. My speakers are a little dark in the top octave in my listening room, probably because they are voiced for small rooms with hard walls as is commonly found in England where they're made. So I'm leaning towards cables that are more bright and lively.
If you don't mind, I'm curious about what you think about their dynamics. One theory that I've heard is that more passive components between the amplifier output stage and the drivers results in less dynamics. So I'm curious whether the LPFs they use affect dynamics.
I don't find my Ultra's rolled off at all, as far as bass goes, deep, quick with refined mid-bass and great midrange reproduction. I think rooms have a big impact on sound though. Maybe older Transparent sound a big strong at the bottom, but I can say MM2 and up do not.

Mine are not dark at all; when the recording is good, cymbals sound like cymbals. I think for the dynamics, you just need to try, since I don't think that they are lacking in that area either. I got mine many years ago after trying many brands, Harmonic T, Analysis Plus, Mapleshade, etc. I do bi-amp now and only use them on my highs now, but I have no desire to change.
Borrowing different models of Transparents from a dealer should be easy.
