Shersta, try looking into some Goertz MI-2's. These have a slightly richer, fuller sound with a more delicate and airier treble response than the Kimber's. They tend to sound very romantic and are quite pleasing overall. The midrange on these is extremely "seemless" as they present a very coherent picture from top to bottom. You can try these out for several weeks if you buy from directly from Goertz. They sound pretty close to what they will sound like long term right out of the package.
While i don't think that your Cambridge will need them, you might want to discuss the need ( or lack there of ) of their impedance compensation networks. Goertz supplies these free of charge if they are necessary.
For the record, i think that Nordost's sound a little sharper, faster and more focused but are lacking in warmth and "musicality". They came across as being analytical without being overtly harsh or bright. If you could obtain the amount of speed, detail and focus that these cables have with increased warmth and bottom end extension, THEN we might really have something.
Keep in mind that these are simply my opinions and suggestions and others results and observations will probably vary according to system and personal likes / dislikes. Sean

PS... Your description of the Kimber / CAT 5 combo sounded like a Cerwin Vega speaker : )
