MIT Cable preferences for Spectral

MIT's website indicates they sell separate lines in-store (Matrix, Oracle Matrix, Oracle MA) vs. on-line (Shotgun, Magnum, Oracle (3 levels, but not Oracle "Matrix"). Two different design technologies are said to be used. The in-store line is places the listener in the front row, or "in" the group. the on-line cables are optimized for imaging and soundstage - placing the listener in the ideal seat in the theater. I realize this may be a simple matter of individual taste, but I am curious as to: (1) what approach the Spectral-badged MIT cables use? (2) POV on whether either approach is significantly better for Spectral, or Wilson (Sophia) speakers?

I believe there are two separate lines to keep online dealers from stepping on the feet of the brick and mortar sellers. It appears that the "available in stores" series features the latest MIT technologies.

I use cables from the online series purchased from Joe Abrams with my Spectral gear. Joe has offered great pricing and great service over the many years I've been doing business with him.

Spectral just updated their own cables. More details here: http://spectralaudio.com/bulletins/Bulletin%200912.pdf
