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 tried complete MIT with 2.3's. Analysis Plus were much better. My wife even heard the difference.

I love my Harmonic Tech Pro 9's with my Thiel 2.3's and I have HT Pro-Silways II between pre-amp and amp. Very well balanced sound. Retail $898 for 8ft pair w/spades. You can get them for less right here on Audiogon

Best of Luck

NBS Monitor series cabling is another excelent match for Thiel speakers.

No longer have Thiel 3.5s, reference speakers in their day. Did use MIT 330 ICs & speaker cables with them. Still have and use them with older ProAc / Forte' ( Nelson Pass ) system. Very Musical! Can't bring myself to part with this system. MIT cables are great match for Pass Lab , Threhold , Spectral gear. Expensive but if you search this or other sites you can get them. At bargain prices? I have tried Many cables; home brew - AQ, Transparent, Kimber, on & on. Keep coming back to MIT ( the more expensive) ones but they keep doing it for me. 
Soundstege, images, frequencies, (Have never found them rolled off) midrange timbre, consistently bring me closer to the real thing. MITs "middle of the road" cables are just that. MIT 330s were a top cable in their day just like Thiel 3.5s .
