I would try something else since you want to experiment with different components. Keep in mind too that equipment is tuned by the 'right' cables. Once you have the equipment that floats your boat, you can then look to the 'big bucks' cables. MIT cables tend to be very specific in their application. I've heard the same $2000 MIT 750 reference speaker cables sound stellar in one system (spectral/audio physic), and terrible in two others (audio research/vandersteen 5 & pass labs/audio physic). I tried 4 ohm and 8 ohm amplifier settings with the vandersteens.
My humble recommendation is to try a set of analysis plus oval 9's. You can buy a used set for $300-400 on audiogon. Audio Advisor sometimes has a few on special too. Those are flat out excellent cables & if you don't like them, you can resell for what you paid. It would be a good starting, and possibly ending point. I've also had great results with Nordost red dawn's. I've heard good things about the LAT cables and discovery's. I've seen quite a few MIT cables heavily discounted by dealers. MIT's are also an ergonomic nightmare because of their size and those huge network boxes. The network boxes are an additional problem with speakers like audio physic which have their terminals so high off the ground that you need to put the boxes on a chair/shelf to keep them from hanging from the speaker terminals.
Don't mean to be so hard on MIT cables. I've just had poor experiences with the equipment I've tried them with.
