Default Speaker cable recommendation

Which speaker cables you found complemented rich and warm sound of your SF?
Especially if you have MC gear did you find any cables that added clarity to top end, etc
I ended up with Nordost TYR 2 interconnects not sure if there is a benefit to have matching speaker cable.

Tyr 2 should be considered with your interconnects along with a T2 power cable if you can, but try before you buy, but remain confident you will not return them.

Thank you! I do have an opportunity to get a great deal on TYR 2 speaker cable used so its at the top of the list. On new side I can get discount on Transparent ULTRA which was another top contender

Never had much luck w/ Nordost speaker cables. I have the Siltech 770s and they have hit the sweet spot in terms of detail w/o the edginess that often seems to accompany highly detailed playback.

I have a full loom of Valhalla in my set up with Amati Futura and Gryphon and I am very happy with the result. As always it depends on what you are looking for. Your preferences and your room. Personally I would not look at Transparent in your case. Siltech, Nordost or Ansuz would me my contenders.

I tried the Heimdall 2 in my system along with a number of others. I ended up preferring Shunyata Etron cables by quite a bit. But I have ARC gear and not McIntosh. I have Cobra interconnects and Anaconda speaker cables.

I am not a big fan of mixing and matching cables. I found what I think works best throughout in my system. With a complete loom, each piece reinforces the others.

I have the Amati Futura's with WW Silver Eclipse. They are very good value for the money.
A friend of mine swears by Audience and I would love to try them to compare.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!
I decided to stay with Nordost TYR 2 line as many of you recommended. Once set up, I will post my impressions. Cheers
