Cable to emphasize midrange in Totem


Hi, I've got a pair of Totem Rainmakers and I'm trying to find some bi-wired speaker cables that will emphasize the midrange and possibly reduce a bit of harshness in the highs. At first I was considering some Kimber cables, 8TC or 12TC, but I emailed Kimber and they actually told me that these cables would worsen my situation if my speakers are sounding harsh at all, and that I should save my money and perhaps consider the cheaper 8PR or 8VS. However, research has led me to believe that while these cables do sound warm, it is perhaps at the cost of detail.

So, can anyone recommend me a pair of cables that are priced similarly to the 8TC's(or cheaper) that have a very lush midrange that could perhaps add a bit of warmth to my system yet while still retaining detail. Other qualities I'm looking for include spaciousness and imaging capability, musicality, separation, and perhaps above all else--just generally lifelike/realistic sounding instruments and vocals. Also, I would prefer it if the brand of cable was somewhat popular/easy to purchase online. Would anything from Cardas fit the bill? Thanks.

I've had Totem Arros and Totem Forests including evolving to a bi-amped system

what worked best for me

** entry level: non-biamped: CHORD Rumour and CHORD Odyssey
** upscale level Bi-amped: (ergo also bi-wired): TOTEM TRESS for HF and ATLAS ASCENT 3.0 for LF
Cardas neutral reference would likely work well. I'd avoid bi-wiring though, makes no difference and costs more.

Kubala Sosna Fascination would also be a good choice.
The amount of offerings from Cardas are dizzying, and greatly vary in price. Can you comment at all on how much all the different cables they sell differ in quality/sound, and are there certain models that I should look for in particular?

Also, if I avoid bi-wiring is there a certain type of jumper cable I should consider?
If you are looking to spend a the Kimber 8tc price point, used Cardas Neutral Reference is likely your best choice. The lower models can sound muddy/thick. As you move up the line things get better, but very pricey.

Any decent solid core copper jumper will work well. You could even make jumpers out of the 8tc.
My budget is a bit flexible. Is there anything above the 8TC price point that stands out in particular?
