Kimber Select IC's

Of the Select series IC's, from copper, to hybrid copper/silver to silver, what differ them apart?
I heard they are pretty forward sounding and might be a flaw in a system very forward and vivid?
I look to get more authority/ body in the mid and a smoother top end. i use a class D amp and a ribbon speaker. A IC that puts soundstage more forward and pretty much throw the music against me would be wrong. I have heard MIT might be what i look for, but they are so expensive and it seems, there are quite often new versions out. I use Signalcable Silver Ref now. System is fully balanced (xlr).

Judging from your remarks, I'd give the 1026's a whirl. The copper-silver hybrid wasn't forward in my system; the copper gave it some weight and the silver gave it some accuracy without being bright (again...my gear and my ear, your mileage may vary, etc.)

The 1036's are what I'm working with now, and they've provided more of everything (also without sounding bright or forward).

They're now my reference cables and I'm using them throughout my setup.
