Kimber will mate up OK with Avalon's, I have used double runs of 8tc with my eclipse. Silver tends to blend very well with all avalon products, I ended up using Tek Line pure silver speaker wire. It is the best uncolored silver cables I have ever heard IMO, not to bright either. If you are interested email me and I will give you his number. Tek line offers a great in home audition so you can not loose. Best wishes
