My wild guess would be that Transparent Reference would work well with your speakers, and I would stay away from MIT. Don't ask me why.

I've had Purist Colossus fluid speaker cables for almost 20 years.Mike, one should be careful with network cables like MIT and Transparent. They work very well with some speakers and not so well with others. Transparent Reference is often used wit...

Yeah, they hang on to those cables, upgrade rarely, often only when they upgrade or change speakers.

Anyway, $2k - $3k for speaker cables that will last at least 25 - 30 years is nothing compared to the cost of some MC cartridges that you have to replace every 2-3 years. Now that's robbery. But they are paying those prices, I am not and will not.... 
Experiences moving from high-power to lower-power system
So, not too much, not too little. I in fact always thought that custom amp was the way to go. In fact, custom speakers too, but that’s another subject. 
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?

Story that I heard, don't quite remember who told it, maybe in fact it was Albert telling it here on Audiogon.Over 30 years ago a man came to a place where members of Dallas Audiophile Society were gathering, man with a cable in his hand.At that t...

Ha. The Cable company wants full retail for Purist cables. Tell them to...you know. Galen Carol Audio in Texas too.Realistic price for 3 meter Museus should be under $1k and for Poseidon a little over $1k. They should be partly similar and partly ...

Albert doesn't advertise less expensive models but he sells all models, including custom lengths. 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Mike, check with albertporter, a member and a dealer of Purist here. He advertises all the time, just type Purist. He would give you a good price. Ask him about both Museus and Poseidon prices. You can also ask him about which one of two he would ...

$1k for used cables should buy $2k-$2.5k cables. But you must know what you are looking for.
