MIT T2 or MH-750 may highlight the brightness of the speakers too much. Use the Transparent Music Wave Plus speaker cables (about $300 in 12 feet length) that have a fuller bass and midrange, plus more musicality than the MIT. Also, replacing the factory jumpers between the high/low input binding post of the speakers with ones of better quality also helps.

I use AP 9 with my 100s and like it very much. I feel AP gave me a significant increase in detail right out of the box, something other more expensive wire didn't do in my opinion. I would like to try Acoustic Zen someday since so many people speak highly of it. If your system is bright already, AP may not be the way to go. I have tubes so its not at all a problem for me.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, has anyone of you compared it with analysis plus 9 ? Anyway most probably I will get MIT to try out in my system.

I use MIT T2 cables with my 100.2s and find them to be excellent. Much nicer than my last Kimbers. Paired with McIntosh electronics. Arthur
