IC's and Speaker cables

OK, I need IC's and speaker cables for my system. I have no idea where to start. This is the last of my quest. I have KEF 207/2's a Pass Labsx350.5 and Aesthetix Calypso pre, Music Hall 9.1 TT and Marantz SA004 CD. You would laugh at what I have for cabling now. Question is -How do I "tame" an overly accurate response. As my speakes are rated relatively "low"(25hz) I want some "weight" to my sound.Some "oomph". Budget is dependent, but up to $2000 for both IC's and speakers. Thanks

You only have to trust me enough to try the MIT AVT 1's in your system from Joe at Equus Audio...the pricing is 50% off msrp and I'm sure he could arrange for a home trial period. It sounds like you are entering the "cable zone" like I did many years ago...you will wind up chasing your tail and spending gobs of money over time. Tread carefully!

I have purchased a used set of Harmonic Tech Magic Link II XLR's for pre to amp and a set of Audience AU24e RCA's for CD or phono pre and hope to obtain a quality set of Bi-wire speaker cables next. That should take care of me until I need a DAC. Then, hopefully, it's just tweaking the music and room from there on in. Thanks for all you suggestions

Oh, I am seriously looking at Acoustic Zen and Harmonic Tech bi-wires for speaker cables. I looked at the Livelines(singles only) and the MIT AVT 1's (bi-wire) and will consider the Mit's if I can't find the above mentioned at a reasonable price. Of course, a "deal" on some AU24e's or Cardas Golden Ref's would pique my curiosity. Again, thanks
