Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new


Recent cable experiments have demonstrated two things to me:

1) I like copper better.
2) Unfortunately, while the economy brands are very good, it is possible to do better.

I am now in the market for something that will be warm - not bright in the least - and full, yet detailed. And I do seem to favor solid-core wire (single or more than one, individually wrapped) to stranded.

Any suggestions?

Consider the Oyaide PA-02 ICs. Furukawa manufactured continuous cast copper wire, about $130 per 1m pair (won't lose much in resale) - what's not to like for a trial?
Another Gregg Straley Reality Cable convert here. Plenty of feedback and valuable information on A-gon and other sites. I got 'em and haven't looked back.
I own Straley speaker cables, and I own PA-02 interconnects, which I use betwen my preamp and amps. I have auditioned Straley XLR interconnects, which I tried between my digital source and preamp.

IMO, the Straley wire is more natural sounding than the PA-02, while still being transparent/neutral.

However, I have not compared PA-02 and Straley wire in exactly the same application.
Harmonic Techonlogy Fantasy Speaker Cables. They don't sound like anything but real music though. Not sure if they are warm or not.
Warm plus Detailed = Audioquest Type 4. WAY under $500.00 even if you biwire.
