Siltech G3 & G5

I am looking for cables for my system: Burmester 001 + 877MKII + 956MKII (mono) and Amati Homage. Someone recommended me Siltech and I auditioned some of G5 and G3 last week.
Compass Lake XLR: very dynamic and clean, lifelike, but a little forward, though acceptable by me.
Forbes Lake RCA: not quite impressive and much worse than Compass Lake, but cleaner than SQ88B G3. However, if I choose between Forbes Lake and SQ88B G3, I will choose the second one.
SQ88B G3: the difference between it and Forbes Lake is not huge. (Maybe cause Forbes Lake is in RCA) But the difference between it and Compass Lake is huge. When I switch back from Compass Lake to SQ88B, it becomes less dynamic, lack of pellucidness, and not in live any more.
The Emperor: It is very clean and full of details. You feel there are no cable to your speakers. But if I choose, I will choose LS-180 G3, which is a wonderful speaker cable and not bad at all compared with the Emperor. The difference between them is much less than the price differnce. (2.5m Emperor is equal to one pair of Amati!!)
LS-38 G3: it is much worse compared with LS-180. The difference is too obvious to accept.
So, my choice is Compass Lake (001 to 877), SQ88B G3 (877 to 956), and LS-180 G3 (956 to Amati). The only quite small problem is the forward, though it is acceptable to me.
Any suggestions to my cables choices to my system or any better choice except Siltech? Thanks.
