I use MIT T2 cables with my 100.2s and find them to be excellent. Much nicer than my last Kimbers. Paired with McIntosh electronics. Arthur

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, has anyone of you compared it with analysis plus 9 ? Anyway most probably I will get MIT to try out in my system.

I use AP 9 with my 100s and like it very much. I feel AP gave me a significant increase in detail right out of the box, something other more expensive wire didn't do in my opinion. I would like to try Acoustic Zen someday since so many people speak highly of it. If your system is bright already, AP may not be the way to go. I have tubes so its not at all a problem for me.

MIT T2 or MH-750 may highlight the brightness of the speakers too much. Use the Transparent Music Wave Plus speaker cables (about $300 in 12 feet length) that have a fuller bass and midrange, plus more musicality than the MIT. Also, replacing the factory jumpers between the high/low input binding post of the speakers with ones of better quality also helps.
