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 :)

Problem solved.

Moving the carpet a little gave me a little more parquet floor and I got more reverberation. It actually feels even better now than before I replaced the armchair with the sofa. The bass has been improved and sounds cleaner and it is easier to follow the tones in the bass area. The sofa works a bit like a base trap.

But I will still give silver cables a try when I get a chance.

Thanks for shareing your thoughts. Take care.

What are you current speaker cables? You may try Chord Epic which are silver plated OFC if you want to explore cables. As you have figured out, room furnishing and set up can bring a massive difference. It's good that you moved the carpet and resolved the dark treble issue.
