I was getting damn near full range with the current placement - so yeah - it went really deep with the ARC cables.
I've AB'd them 3-4 times now over a week and I definitely prefer the magic that happens with the Hexlink cables. They do show a lot of bass but they whiff on the deep deep stuff. And that "whiff" is very much what was happening when I first got the Vandersteens and didn't have the placement correct. I could hear them trying but didn't get the resonance.
I don't tune for tons of bass but if I have a system that is capable of it I should be able to make it happen when the recording offers it.
They currently are about 26" out from the rear wall and 31" from the side walls and 105" apart (measured from the center of the top cloth).
I'm going to:
A. Try them closer together with the ARC cables with the same distance from the rear wall to perhaps center the imaging and get better detail to my listening spot.
B. Try moving the speakers back into the corners a few inches with the Hexlink cables to try and get the bass back but keep the center sparkle that happens with those.
I'll you know what develops from that!
