MIT Terminator 2 vs. Kimber 8TC Speaker cables

Posted by George S. Roland (A) on November 27, 2016 at 09:11:05

Hello,

I have been using Kimber Kable 8TC speaker cables (blue/black) for awhile and rather like them.

I have an opportunity to pick up a used pair of MIT Terminator 2 cables at a reasonable price, and am wondering if anyone familiar with both of these cables might comment on the differences, if any, between them? Both would be used in a bi-wire configuration on B&W Matrix 801 II speakers with ARC tube or Pass ss power amps.

I am finding, on high-pitched vocals and orchestral strings, a bit of "glare," for want of a better term, with the Kimbers. While I love the clarity they provide otherwise, I am particularly interested in whether the MITs might round out or soften this slightly aggressive quality.

I have tried Audioquest Rocket cables, but found them too rounded and almost muffled-sounding.

Thanks,

George
