Kimber with MIT ?


I currently have my system hooked up with all MIT AVi 1 interconnects and old Terminator 2 biwire speaker cables.
I've tried about every speaker cable under $ 5-600 $ range in last twenty years except Kimber.
I'd like to go all in(for an old retired teacher)on new speaker cables.
Any thoughts as to whether Kimber 12TC would sound better than MIT cables available under $1500 or so, like CVT2, Shotgun S3.3 or AVT MA ? 80% classical,19% jazz, 1% motown

Modded PAS 3 or EE minimax
Odyssey amp
CA 740 CD
NHT 2.5 i speaks( a great speaker on classical)

I can tell you that the MIT Matrix 28 cables I am using on loan now from a dealer will become MINE next week. I've listened exhaustively and nauseatingly to all kinds of cable, from Monster XP, to Audioquest Rock 44, to DH Labs, Silversonic, to Morrow SP5 and NONE have come even close to the MIT for balanced detailed presentation at ANY volume. I'm listening now at a relatively low volume level and the harmonic presentation of piano and percussion is outstanding with no need or desire to turn up the volume for proper sonic balance. They are just incredible. The MIT are more expensive but absolutely worth every penny. I'm sold!
I'd love to hear your impressions of the MIT CVT 2 cables. I'm looking at interconnects now to go with my MIT speaker cables. There is a lot of talk about matching interconnects and speaker cable within the same brand adding synergy. I don't know about that but probably designed using the same philosophy.
Good news Schubert! MIT bass is exacting. When it is on the recording and goes deep you know it and feel it, no regular thumping. I added a pair of CVT-1 balanced IC's from my DAC to integrated amp and noted increased spacial presentation as well. Detailed highs but with the correct timbre, the bit of roughness in reeds and horns, the sounds that make each instrument different.
I tried the Digital Shotgun for a week on loan but couldn't justify the difference from some less expensive Kimber DV30 so I have a MIT AVt1 digital cable on the way for my CD to DAC connection and see what all MIT sounds like. I'm pretty much done with cables so its on to room acoustics now for tweaking.
