I owned MIT Oracle for a few years now 1.2V and 3.2V proline. They are not smeared, bright, dull, dark, slow or fat. They match up to your gear due to the variable impedance switching.
The cables cost but in a well designed system can be the cherry on the cake so to speak. Don't know them till you live with the for awhile, put your prejudice aside, some up some money and buy a set for yourself, start at your source.
I don't own the speaker cables only due to not having the room to work with the very large network box, so I use Kimber Select 3035 speaker wire, which works well with the MIT.
