I'm not looking to start a what's better thread. This is specifically for people who have, or have had, Totem Rainmakers. What cables do you run or have you tried, and what were your impressions of said cables?

totem Rain makers are very nice speakers. Totem across the board are very nice. I see you have IXOS. They (trying to be)like Kimber Kable, make some nice cables. I personally don't care for them. If I was to go that way, I would just go back to Kimber Kable.

With your gear I suggest you try the following

Audioquest CV8's
Kimber Kable 8tc
transparent Supers

these are the cables I personally like and think would work very well with Totem and Cambridge gear. Personally I perfer Audioquest for many reasons. I aldo don't think there are many Rainmaker owners in here. Few have Totems or had.

I used Signal Ultra Cabes with my Rainmakers and had excellent results.

Everything is sounding good with IXOS, but I want to see if I'm missing antything. I think Signal and MIT are going to be the next two I try out.

I'm also a fan of Goertz speaker cable. I use their silver cable for my 2 channel setup. It brightened up my warm equipment and warm speakers. I use their copper cable for my HT rig. I haven't tried MIT speaker cables, but their interconnects are in a league of their own.
