Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?


Hej

My speakers are considered to be dark sounding and it has been OK with me until I replaced my easy chair with a small couch. Now the sound has turned a little too dark/muffled/dead. So I'm thinking maybe if I replaced my speaker cables with some other. Yes, I know it's a long shot, especially when my current cables are Kimber 8TC. But what do you say? Smaller carpet? Just don't say bring back the easy chair or buy new speakers :)

I concur with Nordost or any other silver-based cable.

Happy Listening!
It’s always a negative to clean/refine signals and clean/refine dynamics via correcting an offset ...with another offset.

Like stacking different springs. The end point is one where they interfere with one another, the distortions are increased and the actual signal conditions, as a pass through - are less, not more.

Audio, high end audio, as an endeavor, is.... to obtain as clear a window set as possible, and stack them, as perfectly as possible... and then enjoy the quality of view through the stack, as well as it can be enjoyed.

Individual results will vary.

Slight colors or tonalities can be enjoyed, like a set of sunglasses with particular light alterations can be enjoyed.

But ...too many filters stacked, just leads to visual mud. Where one has to fight and work to resolve anything. And what is found, may be false. Colorations. Which filter is the problem? Is it more than one? Do they all have to go? Did I start filtering wrong and then spin off and end up being completely wrong?

Audio is much the same. Less windows stacked means a more true view. Less IS more.
Just try the silver clad wire, and let it settle in a bit.. The speakers IC and source to Preamp and preamp to power amps. Every place you put more silver clad, the brighter it will get.. To the point of BOIL.. The ends can offer a slight tone change, gold will warm it up, copper...tone it down... Silver terminal ends will do a little brighten up AGAIN...

Purely what I've noticed..... No more, no less.

Happy hunting...

OK. I'll see if I can get some cables with silver and do some listening tests.
But I changed back to the sofa to really understand what is different. The reverberation has clearly changed. So I think I'll try to move the carpet a little so the parquet floor will be a little more exposed. Just to see how it affects the sound.

Thanks for the tip!
Oh come on that's silly. Silver cables? That's going to make no difference.

Your speakers have treble settings don't they? Have you adjusted them?

Your speakers have good directional response but the old Eaton's were light off axis making for low room energy at high frequency. They were intended as monitors not home audio. Not sure about new ones.

No cable is going to fix low total high frequency energy. That needs EQ or room treatment.
