If your ears don't like the sound, you may ditch the MIT cables with this mix of equipment... Try some of the higher-end AudioQuest, Transparent Audio or Cardas.... Anything MIT may be too laid back with your system and the Eidolons will immediately let you know this. BTW -- If your Eidolons are not broken in yet, or have not been run in a while, or disconnected for more than a day or two, wait 300 to 500 hours before trying other cables. These speakers take forever to become stable. I had a horrible time with break-in.... but now, I think these are one of the finer speaker sets available.
