Speaker cables for Usher 6381's?? Other tweaks??

Anybody out there play with speaker cables on these??
Right now I am using the Rapport (Usher house brand)
on them and am wondering if I can do better, but want
to see if I can get some ideas of a good match maybe
some of you have come across.

The rest of my (system of today)consists of

Consonance Ref 150 Linear Integrated Hybred
Naim Cd5i cdp
Usher 6381's
Audiovox ic's
Rapport speaker cables

I have a pair of single wire Analysis Plus Oval 9's
and have to get some jumpers to use them.

What I am looking for is a tad more upper end
extention & air. I love every thing else about them
at the moment, and the top end is not bad as is..but!?!?

BTW...The amp may not be fully broken in yet either but
I'm working on it.

Thanks for any suggestion as alway's.

Thanks for the reply Photon! I am running the Consonance
non stop. My local Usher dealer is running Belles
with his which I heard yesterday, and they sounded
fantastic! Good synergy there, which has me tempted!
The Consonance is really smooth, and I love the way
it sounds overall, so I will look into the cables you recommended.
BTW...what amp are you using?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Photon,

I should have said, what amp "were" you listening to
when you considered the Ushers?

Try the JPS line I am using the JPS Super Blue and they sound very good with these speakers, buy the bulk cable and terminate yourself. I have also tried Analysis Plus Oval 9's and they are very good also.

Bob, As I recall, the Ushers were driven by a Cary V-12 power amp, Cary SL98 preamp, and cables were Soundstring. I'm using a PS Audio HCA-2 that's had all the Reference Audio Mods done to it except for the Eichmann Cable Pods.
