Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables

I am seeking advice on cables for the VR4 JRs. I have the current equipment setup:

Counterpoint SA20 200wpc Tube Hybrid. New Tubes
Denon PRA-2000 Pre-amp
Transparent Reference Interconnects Amp to Pre, Cd to Pre
Denon DCD3520 CD PLayer
MIT MH750 Music Hose 8 foot
Previous Speaker Martin Logan CLSIIz.

The mids and Highs are wide and spacious, not clogged, with a wide stage and presence.

Bass is a little on the boomy side, not tight. Added 25 pounds of lead shot to each speak helped a little but nbot as tight as I think they should be or would like. They sound like they are on wood floors but they are on Concrete subfloor with carpet.

Currently trying Consonance Joplins. Base is extremely tight, but then the mids and highs are narrowed to about three feet in width. Mids and highs sound more accurate but soundstage is almost gone. Running the cables to see if it is break in?

Anyone with any experience with these speakers please comment/advise.

I'm surprised that you still have the 330 in your system if you went away from the MH750.

Yes, well, I'm planning an upgrade to those but, I use a 25' run of IC from pre to amp. For this I need to save a bit...!

Hi fellas, speaking of MIT I just recently put 330 shotguns back in my rig between a CJ premier 14 and Mcintosh 501 monoblocks...I think I prefer them to 350 reference that I took out! I also use 350 SG EVO between dac and preamp and Magnum 2's between amp and Thiel 3.6's.

I think the 330 shotguns and MH750 were perhaps the best bargain in the MIT line, I really don't like they way they are marketing the brand now with so many choices in the various categories...do you need 3 oracles, 3 magnums, and 3 shotguns?

Davekosek, If you are interested, the cables that Von Schweikert are using with their speakers currently, according to Paul Garner, National Sales Manager, are currently listed on Agon used. These are the Verbatim(mis-spelled Verbatium by the seller)10 foot bi-wires. I just ordered a pair last week ,sadly, or I would buy these, but if you are interested, they are priced right. Just a FYI.
