What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless?

Hello ,
I’ll soon be investing in a pair of the new KEF LS50 wireless II speakers and I’m curious what experiences people have had regarding upgrading the power cables on the original wireless model or the new ones.  I haven’t had much luck finding info on this topic looking through past posts (maybe one thread three years ago) so I’m curious what owners may be able to share on this subject now.  I appreciate any information you care to share. Thanks.

The new model actually uses a class A/B for the tweeter. Not sure how much of a difference this would make with upgrading power cables but it’s worth pointing out.

Your question it seems to me is based on the assumption that power cords are specific to certain components. That the same power cord that is excellent on one thing somehow magically knows to sound completely different when used somewhere else. As if the power cord knows where it is and how to behave in each situation.  

Interesting theory.

depends what the power cords are made of. Silver has a brighter sound. Copper is warmer. you dont want it to be any brighter as the kefs are already too bright with their metal dome tweeters!

Though I appreciate the sarcasm as usual sweetheart, that is not at all what my question alluded to. Given the specific design features of the LS50 wireless models, I’m merely interested in what owners of them have experienced when trying out new power cables. What models have they tried and what are their thoughts on the differences they heard versus the stock cords? That sort of thing. Furthermore, as I’m positive you are neither a previous nor current owner of the LS50 wireless model, Chuck, your opinions lack any pertinence on this matter.  If anyone has actual ownership experience with the LS50 wireless models  and would care to chime in on this I’m all ears though. Thanks again.

Wow. So you really do think it matters what they're connected to. So it wasn't sarcasm at all then. Think about it. Seriously. Give it some thought. 

The way to approach this, and this will be my last comment ever to you so you might want to pay attention, the way to approach this is to understand a power cord is just a power cord. 

Your question is no different than, "I have a Ford F-250 and wonder if anyone can tell me what is a good torque wrench for that model truck?" And then snottily corrected the one guy who tried to help saying bud, its a torque wrench.

Bud, its a power cord. But you go, girl!
