Kimber Cable Select


Would Kimber Cable Select be a good match with McIntosh Equipment (i.e. MC611, C2700 tube preamp,  MCD 12000 or MCD 600 SACD/CD  player?

My speakers are W&B 800D3 pair. Your responses have been very helpful and confirmed what I believed. I can not audition yet, since I am starting from scratch. I understand transparency and hearing those sublime notes which I enjoy having once owned Martin Logan Prodigy speakers two decades ago. My dealer unfortunately does not represent these cables so I will either purchase new once I have accumulated my equipment, which I am preparing to order the MC611 pair and C2700 preamp. 

Will the C2700 preamp translate warmth into the system using these cables, or it will it be negligible? I am considering the MAC Mcd SACD/CD player (tube) player also.

A short update; I ended up purchasing the McIntosh reference preamp, C12000c & C12000st (tube) and HIFi Rose 150b. (Everything is still boxed up waiting to be assembled once a rack to hold the equipment and cables, interconnects, HDMI, plugs and Niagara 3000 or 5,000 has been decided on.  

I am considering AudioQuest Thunderbird speaker cables (Zero or zero/biwire combo with Thunderbird XLR  interconnects or Kimber Kable KS6063 speaker cables with ks1116 interconnects. 

Any thoughts? 

 

Everyone, Thank you, I hope to complete my system in 2023, one purchase at a time unfortunately, but I do appreciate your recommendations and reviews. Happy Holidays.
