Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52

I have not heard the combination but it seems the 8TC would be the weak link

Since you are using Transparent interconnects, I recommend that you use Transparent speaker cables to take advantage of the synergy when using the same cables throughout the system. Just my 2 centavos.

The 8TC's will get the job done nicely. They don't put a hole in your wallet and allow you to enjoy the music. I understand they require 200 - 500 hours of burn in. Or so I've read. Mine are near the 80 hour mark and they sound good. I'll wait till I get 300 hours on them before I "really" judge them. Until that time, I'm okay (i.e. satisfied) with the job they're doing.
