Are doing both interconnects and speaker, or just interconnects?

The speaker cables will be the awesome Transparent Reference XL. I had a question in my mind whether the speaker cables will interfere so I already tried all the cables except the Transparent Ref XL balanced. There is a noticeable and immediate difference between all the interconnects. I don't think the Transparent Ref XL that cost as much as the Sophia speaker itself will be the bottleneck in this shootout. It is truly "transparent".

They are because the transparent ICs made a huuuge difference in my system before. While adding the speaker cables after the ICs did nothing with those ICs in the system.. Replacing the transparent speaker cables for my old speaker cables and keeping the transparent ICs in, immediately bloated the bass somewhat, collapsed the soundstage and the palpability was no where near as good, so my other speaker cables would not be good for this comparison. Transparent cables work as a "system" together but the speaker cables truly get out of the way like they should and offer the amp/speaker a bridge of transparency and network optimized connection.

I have a new super duper cable, it is fat, has a nice box and is more expensive then the the transparent cables so it must me better. I call them the "Platinum Bankrupters". They sound better really, they are more expensive so they must be better right ??
