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)

OK.Jam , will arive next Wend per FedEx, I'll run'em a few days and let ya know.
I have Groneberg SC and IC, while they are OK, in my rig the old T2 sound better, at least on Classical.
It's been my impression that Classical listeners look for different thing than rock people, at least ones who regulary attend the symphony etc . I could be wrong of course.
Stereo5, I do thank you for the groneberg sugestion, they are a lively , big sounding cable with good tone ,if I listened to rock I probaly would just stop there.
They do not however, reproduce the harmonic overtones of insruments ,esp. strings that make symphonic pieces sound like music not just good "hi-fi:, At least thats what MY hears hear.
No knock on Groneberg very few cables seem to, at least at a price I can afford, only ones I've personally heard that do are MIT, which,I suspect might bore a rocker to death.
Different horses for different courses.
Wow ! Tycob, I just finished ordering an 8ft bi-wire set of CVT2 and a 1m Cvt2 IC !!
Jambalaya,
Cvt2 biwire and IC pretty well broken in , What I hear,over my old T2's- is a greater sense of solidity and coherence to the music, esp. complex music like symphony, and a much greater seperation between intruments and lines . Also, a more "refined" sense of tone in both bass and highs, not as big a diff in mids.
Biggest change is usually a 3-d "holigraphic" image with rock solid spatial location, T2 would do this once in a while, CVt2 more often than not, not being not recorded in 1st place.
Keep in mine T2's had already bested the wires I had enough of for a complete stystem hookup, "loom" some call it. That inclused Straightwire, Morrow, AudioArt, MAC. Wireworld. DH Labs, HarmonyTech and Mapleshade.Middle grades of all lines. DNM reson is my next fave SC but I have none of their IC's.
All in all, I find it $850 well spent !
