at the risk of bucking the tide here, no one seems to be addressing the synergy between the electronics you are using with the ML's. Since the ML's are typically very revealing, and your electronics tend to be on the bright side, you need to be very careful what cables you run out and purchase. I would seriously recommend you try something from a company that allows auditioning many different manufacturers so you can hear what your buying before you sign up. I have ML ReQuests, levinson and proceed electronics and transparent Ultra cabling. For me the system works well together. I think the transparent cables would most likely suck with your system. Try some place like the cable company, or audio advisor...good luck
