Revel Salon2 speakers & MIT v1.2 speaker cables
I have not heard the combination, but I am very familiar with the Mit Oracle V1.2 speaker cables and interconnects and you will not find anything better for any speaker, unless you go to Mit Oracle MA. 
Spendor s8e or Devoe Super 8
Spendors 
Supra Swords or MIT's
Cable recommendations are very difficult to make as each system is different and what works for one system does not necessarily mean it will work in another system, additionally, everyone has there own tastes as to what sounds best to them. Each o...

Just tell them that your are sick, I do, it works everytime, only because its true. 
input sensitivity exceeded
Hi, your sensitivity ratio in relationship to your dac and amp may actually be too low. Most amps have an input sensitivity about the same as yours and most better preamps have the ability to swing 5 to 25 volts to achieve lifelike dynamic swings ...

Recommendations please...

Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson.
I have a pair of Unos and do not experience any brightness or glare, I would not trade for wilsons as your speakers when set up properly are state of the art and outperform any Wilson.Make sure that your room is properly treated, this is very impo...
