Recommendation on IC's and speaker for this system


Fellow Music and Sound Lovers, Please weigh in here:

Current System

Rotel 991 Cd Player (acting as transport only)
PS Audio digital Link III DAC
Audio Research LS-8 Tube Pre-Amp
Channel Island cd-200 mono-block Class D amps
Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers
Monster power conditioner and have upgraded a few power cords to Signal Cable

Currently all IC's are Kimber Kable Silver Streak and
Speaker Wire is BetterCables.com wire

So.
Any suggestions on upgrade to IC's or wire? I know the Kimber are highly regarded but to me a bit too detailed/bright?

Appreciate Help
Thanks

I agree with the Kimbers being bright, at least for my tastes and my rig.

One IC that I find more musical and still priced reasonably (esp. used) is the Acoustic Zen Wow. I also use AZ Satori speaker wire that I like those a lot too.
