Try Zu Libtecs. I used both anti-cables and Clear day and the Zus are just right, to my ears, with just the right balance, openness and detail. A big improvement over both for my Tempestas.
Zu auctions them on ebay pretty regularly ~$225/8 ft. pair.
I've since changed all my cabling to Zu (Mission ICs, Mother and Bok power, and Ash digital ic), and really like them.

I've heard the  ZU Definition and the Definition Pro v2, which I thought was terrific. The V2 tweeter was much better behaved, IMO. I don't know anything about the lesser models.
The cables stand on their own as the best I've ever owned, and I've owned plenty.
If you like OCC wire consider this option as an experiment:

I re-wired my Tempestas with this stuff, and it made a major difference. The spatial rendering is positively spooky.

Do you know what the stock wire is?

I think it is 16 ga. OFC stranded zipcord type wire.
It looks similar to this:

Not bad quality, really, but the resolving power of the Tempestas makes every change very audible.

All is very good.  I never heard anything from this dude whoever he was.  And if I had, I would have told him to buy the speaker from Rick.  It's amazing how many people equate "DIY" with "Free Ride."   

OMG!!!

I just realised that I too have been emaiing Rick questions about speakers (not these). I absolutely understand now Rick's POV. I had no intention to take a "free ride".

Dennis/Rick, sometimes we DIYers, in our zeal to learn, do overstep the boundaries. Please feel free to "slap our wrists" when you feel nesscary.

Rick, I had no malifide intention. If you felt I did, please accept this as a public apology.

Sometimes we dream of strange combinations.

Rick would this work?

Nickname: Prospero (inspired by Tempesta and Shakespere)
Woofer: 2 x ScanSpeak 22W/8851 or Audio Technology C-Quenze 23 I
Mid: 1 x Accuton C90-6
Tweeter: RAAL 70-20XR or Mundorf AMT 2340 / 2440

The AT woofers are mediocre performers for the cost. I haven't worked with the Mundorf tweeters but I tend to prefer the RAAL ribbons over AMT's.

Sorry Rick, I should have been more clear. The Mundorf HF unit model numbers start with AMT as in AMT 2340 and AMT 2440. see link. http://www.mundorf.com/english/speakerschassis/Air-Motion-Transformer.pdf
