Great advice above. As a sidenote, the MIT cables are somewhat surprising in that they "tame" high end brightness in systems tending toward bright, without affecting the detail or overall response to my hearing. In other words, the harshness from bright systems is gone but the music remains. In neutral systems, the music remains and there also appears to be no affect or diminishment of the high end. That's my experience (various Thiel/Bryston combos for bright and various Montana/Sierra combos for neutral -- MIT Oracle 2 speaker cable). I like it, but I sure can't explain it. Regardless of the system, the highs don't roll off but overly bright systems are tamed.
