I just went back to Kimber 8TC from MIT 750 Series 3 on my Thiel 3.6's and the sound is great. I have a warm system though, CJ pre and Classe CA200 amp with MIT shotgun ic's. The MIT's were biwire and it was too messy to run as a single to the Thiels. I wish I had heard the 750's to compare. I might have to get another pair in a single run - pain in the ass!
MIT Term 2 speaker cables...Am I nuts???
Recently replaced 12g Original Monster cable with MIT Term 2's to connect Jolida tube amp to Spendor S-100 speakers. Now, I know my system has a warm, round sound without the deepest of bottom ends, but when I hooked up the MIT's (used=broken in)the first thing I did was felt inside my ears to see if there was cotton in them. The sound lacked the punch, dynamics, and the bass of the $3/ft Monster copper. Highs were a noticable improvement, and instruments image better with MIT's, but I am now using the M.C. to drive the woofers as, I swear, they sound better than the MIT's. Am I nuts, or have I simply compounded too many components with a warm sound (Arcam CD player as well = laid-back British sound)?? Is this a common characteristic of MIT's? Would I be better off with a good solid state amp?
