Which MIT cables for Thiel???

Reading many different threads over time I continue to see MIT cables mentioned a the "perferred" Thiel cable. I am still building a system and would rather use the members expertise than to shoot in the dark. My current system is Bryston B60 integrated w/ Thiel CS1.5's. Wire is Transparent the Wave 100. Still looking for a CDP, digital wire is Transparent the Link 100. Should I MIT both wires or just speakers? Need approx. 8' speaker wire, looking used $5-800. Which wire, there are so many different? Would like to warm system a little. Advice appreciated. ps, considering Cary Audio CD303/200 for CDP.

I also have the Thiel 1.5's and am using the Analysis Plus
Oval 12 with great satisfaction! Incredibly clear sound and
not at all "bright" as Thiel's are frequently accused of
being.

I use to own the 1.5's. I cabled them with MIT 330 interconnects and MIT 750 shotgun speaker cables. If you can swing the investment I think you'll be happy. Ultimately I would go with 330 shotgun interconnects to match the speaker cables perfect. I also used an MIT reference digital cable. These cables work great with Thiel speakers. The trick is to find them for at least 50% off retail. They can be had for even less if you play your cards right.

I'd suggest that you try Goertz cabling, which Thiel has used.

MIT cables will work wonders with your Thiels. I used the 330 proline shotgun and imp matched along with 770's with Thiel 2 2's and 5i's.

I was using 330 shotguns and auditioned some kimber ss and kcag and with my system it really opened up, more clarity, detail, and transparancy. I am now using kcag and kctg with MIT 750+ S3 with Thiel 3.6's and the result is the best I've had and I've had this system several years. The MIT's fill up the soundstage and give the Thiels a presence and weight I haven't gotton with other cables, the transparancy of the kimbers and 3 diminisionality of the MIT's are a great combination in my system. There are no shortcuts unfortunately, trial and error is the only way to ever really be satisfied.
