Thiel 2.3 Proceed gear speaker and interconnects

I cuurently have a setup including Thiel 2.3's and MCS1 with a Proceed HPA2 and 3 and AVP. I demoed some cables a while ago which included Cardas and Nordost. At the time I felt that the Nordost Blue Heaven and Red Dawn produced a much less colored sound than the Cardas cables. I then went to install Blue Heaven speaker cables and Red Dawn interconnects. For a long time I have had this setup and more and more the lstening fatigue is growing because everything is quite edgy and to many they would assume this.

I want to try some new cables, bt would like some direction to recommended pairings from Audioquest and Cardas as well as others that will warm things up and bring back listening enjoyment.

Kimber Select is my current IC flavor, 1021 from source and 1016 between preamp and amps. 8TC works well as speaker cable because it is one of the most tone nuetral wires I have tried and Thiels really benefit from that. I've used Straight wire Maestro II, Audience AU24, and Goertz MI2 and 3 and have enjoyed all. Other cables I have used and not kept/liked in my rotation so much are Kimber Select 3035, MIT V3, MIT Magnum 2.

It is a personal choice - as you know - I am not a detail freak - I don't like anything that sticks out in the sound stage and Thiels can be notorius for that given the opportunity upstream. But fed properly they are special and that's why I've owned my 3.6's for 10 years.
