Hello, and welcome to THE club. I am a fellow C7 ES user and fanatic. You chose wisely! [:)]
Please be sure to join the Harbeth user's group. There have been some interesting discussions on appropriate wiring. (And a number of other topics.) You can access it through harbeth.com and see all past and present discussions.
Here is a copy of a post [4-29-01] by a nice guy who has the Compact 7 and who used to use your cables. You can email him once you join the site/group and check this date. He would be a fun guy for you to talk to. (He is an engineer in England.)

Dear All
Just for completeness I use Kimber Monocle -X. However, when choosing a cable you cannot write the amplifier out of the equation, it's really a three variable problem.
Reasons for my choice:
1) Good high purity copper conductors with smooth surface finish to ensure that the high frequencies don't have to travel through heavily damaged surface region.
2) A geometry that attenuates RF and acts as a poor anttenna. Good quality PTFE or similar dielectric The cable has 16 individually insulated wires braided around, and bounded to, an acoustically lossy *hosepipe*.
3) Its terminated with WBT locking babana plugs.
With my previous Rogers LS7s the upgrade path was: QED 79 strand, Nordust Flatline gold, Kimber Monocle-X - each step improved clarity.
By the way, at around one inch in diameter, this not the cable to try to hide under a rug.
