Recommended cables for NHT 2.9

I'm looking for smooth, mellow speaker cables ($200 and under - used) that would work well with the NHT 2.9. I've read that the MIT Terminator is good (and I may get the T2 biwire), but I'd like more opinions. Presently I'm using cheap, old $1.75-ft Monster Cable in a bi-wire configuration from a Counterpoint SA-220. The cables are 4ft long on either side. Thanks for your help ;-)

If you are looking for mellow cables with tight bass, my vote goes to Lat Internation. I agree with the earlier post the SS-800 are good and hard to beat at your price. Also the construction on lat products is top notch. I am surprised more people do not use their stuff. Guess it is not fancy enough!

YOU WANT TO MELLOW OUT YOUR NHT 2.9's?!?!?!? Didn't you know that these babies were a bright speaker to begin with?!?! Anyway, MIT's and Synergistic would be the way I'd go. Whichever you can get your hands on to try out. Kimber 8TC to bright. I had the NHT 6.6's (two 3.3's stacked on each side) with two pairs of (4 mono blocks) aragon palladiums and used Synergistic speaker cables (Sig #2's for the lows and Sig #3's for the highs). I also changed the NHT cones to Black Diamond Racing for a warmer sound. Happy Tweeking

I use harmonic tech pro 9 bi-wire with 2.9's and a Classe CA200. They go for around $450-$500 used so may be a little more than you want to spend. Before I got these I was using original monster cable. The improvement with the new cables was huge. Much more detail, depth, and tighter base.
