loic: either the cordial cgk175 or spirit XXL which is not the same as the "spirit", the "xxl" feels much nicer and is a favorite amongst German musicians on forums. I would say those two are the European mogami equivalent.
I am honestly not sure what to think of the whole "cable sound" mojo beyond the obvious impact of capacity/conductor resistance over longer cable runs; if you are convinced it matters then just try a couple of both in your own setup, that would be best instead of listening to some romantic vocabulary thrown around since everybody's hearing, preferences and setups are different, too.
e.g. thomann has both and cheaper cordials too and they have a good return policy plus shipping to France should be fast.. really, just try. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with either. They are the top of the line of both manufacturers and are considerably cheap for that.
They feel a little different to the touch and the cordial is all black and dark and might look "used" faster than the slicker, smoother spiritxxl surface which then again feel a bit "stickier" but that's about all I can really think of and I doubt that matters much. Both are not stiff and coil real easy.
For what it's worth while you are at it, you might also want to try Klotz. I have all three in various lengths and so far, they all still work well and no cable crapped out on me so far - even the ones with the red silent neutriks. *knocks on wood*
While we are on the subject, what's everyone's favorite speaker cable? Papa Diezel?
Does it make any sense to go for shorter, thicker loudspeaker cables? Like 1meter 4.00 mm² instead of 1,5meter 2.50 mm²?
