Generalizations aren't good in anything but especially audio because of all the hundreds of variations, tastes, etc...MIT falls into that category with alot of posters. For me, MIT ic's don't work in my system, too warm, but the speaker cables interface my classe amp and Thiel speakers better than others I have tried, not an extensive list, but several other brands. The enjoyment level for me with this setup is completely satisfying. There are lots of MIT bashers on A'gon - listen for yourself and decide. It's all about synergy.
