Opinions on MIT wire for B & W 800D

Sorry, haven't had a chance to go through the regular Magnum line to compare, but according to MIT's own literature the only significant difference is "their ability to articulate effectively at lower and lower frequencies as you step up in the product line." Take that fwiw.

I would suggest you go for something in the new MA series, but I would suggest stretching at the very least a little bit and going Shotgun MA biwires for the front three speakers and interconnects.

Frankly, given the speakers, you really shouldn't be settling for anything less than Magnum MA biwires for the front 3 speakers and interconnects.

There's a price list on the new MIT website:

www.mitcables.com

I've been told only select dealers are permitted to stock MA series, so you may have to call several dealers.

As to the combination, I find it to be fantastic, MIT and B&W really mate well together.

I would make sure that he stocks MA in the first place. Then you should ask for a pair of Magnum M3, Shotgun MA and Magnum MA speaker cables and interconnects for loan to your system so you can make the informed call.

What budget and what gear?
