Compatibility and Heresy

I may not have the answers you are looking for. I'm a bit of a heretic. I'm a big believer in a real world approach. I believe your choice of interconnect cables are a relatively small part of the equation, assuming you keep them down to a reasonable length. Since you're entertaining monoblocks, then it's best to try and take the speaker cable's sonic impact out of the equation. Place each monoblock very close to each speaker. Use very short speaker cables. One foot is within reason.

Your speakers are a very good match for the M-60. I've heard the combination and it was superb. The M-60 is capable of exposing the sonic limitations of your line-stage. It will be a very real limitation and will not allow the M-60 to do it's very best IMHO.

OTL sound is often very difficult to describe. It seems to offer the best of tube amps and solid-state, but not of the disadvantages. An M-60 is the cream of the OTL crop, with its balanced topology. That gives you the advantage of balanced interconnects, which can all but remove the sonic impact of differing interconnect cables.
