AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost??


Trying to determine what is the better step up in sound quality from my current SPEAKER CABLE. My goal is overall greater musicality, and taut bass. I currently have the Audio Art SC-5 standard (which is just OK, NOT THE MORE COSTLY SC-5ER

Either Analysis Plus Oval 9(Black); Audio Art SC5E; or Nordost Purple Flair. Two of the SPEAKER cables retail at $745 for a 12 ft pair; Nordost PF may be more. I have heard the Nordost A FEW TIMES, BUT ONLY BRIEFLY; But not the AA SC-5E or or AP Oval 9 Black. My speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagios driven by Red Dragon digital monoblocks. (The amp "might" be changed later for a stereo PASS XP-150. Will appreciate all comments and advice.

Acoustic Zen Adagios? Sorry, why not Acoustic Zen Satori or Hologram speaker cables?
To JG2; Very good point. Actually I owned the AZ Hologram 2 cable and it was excellent, conveying midrange detail and balance. However, the Hologram 2 had somewhat of a narrow soundstage, and its bass was soft. After selling it, I went to the Audio Art SC-5 speaker cable, then auditioned the Clearday's Single Silver speaker cable which was impressive and possibly had the edge over Audio Arts Nevertheless, I believed that the Adagios deserve much better cable than these overachieving budget brands I tried I also wanted to keep the price down with lower price cables

I never tried Paul's Clearday (top of the line) Double Silver Shotgun. Unfortunately, both brands did not have any "loaners" of their best speaker cables; I did not want to just plunge into buying new speaker cables without some type of audition, recommendation, or review. So I decided I ask in this thread about the Analysis Price Oval 9 or the Nordost "Purple Flair" Above the Oval 9 Black is the Oval 9 Big Silver, and next the level of Nordost is the new LS Red Dawn. Both are approx $1200 retail for about 8ft. And I need a 12 ft which is about $200 more retail price unless, I choose to take the chance on uneven lengths. (See my thread under Cables which asks about this potential technical problems of an a pair of unequal length speaker cables.
I saw that thread, but thought the replies were appropriate. No, I don't think unequal lengths will be an issue.

I have owned the Nordost Heimdall and Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 speaker cables. I preferred the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun over both of those cables. Of course, as always, YMMV.
Why tale a chance? Just call The Cable Company. Then you'll know for sure.
