Technical assistance and recommendations needed


I have a decent system I believe; it is hard to tell since there are no audio clubs in the area and only one audio shop outside of a Best Buy store to hear equipment to compare. So I would recommend a forum for T/A  for folks not having an audio knowledge base.

My system is CD based and is comprised of a Marantz cd6006, Technics SUG700, Canton 9k reference speakers, SVS SB1000pro subwoofer, and a Shiits EQ. Interconnects are SVS interconnects for the SVS sub. Coax is Metabridge Ultra Series, interconnects are very old Monster cable interlink 500 and Monster m1000 mk.3., My speaker cables are from Maker Audio What I enjoy about the system is its inner detail, soundstage, and imaging. The room is a compromise but well damped 12x18 vaulted ceiling wall to wall carpets two overstuffed chairs and couch one open side wall.

The system is a bit analytic, and I would like to warm it up just a bit. So how do I add a bit more flesh/ body to the sound is it through the interconnects?  I am looking for solutions under $1000. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Scott

+1 for the Cardas speaker cables. You can buy the 4s11 in bulk and do your own pretty easily. No cable is an equalizer, but proper mating can really make a difference. My Klipsch Heritage speakers have all benefited from a Cardas cable of some sort over the years. Bang for buck comes to mind. Enjoy your system and get lost in the music.

I hate to burst your bubble but the aluminum tweeters in those speakers might be the problem that you are describing. I doubt that any IC will warm them up!!

If permissible, pull the speakers out from the back wall to a minimum of 3 ft measured from the tweeter/baffle to have more SS depth and to avoid the reflected sound mingled with the direct sound.

Can your Schitt equalizer help with the brightness?  How about speaker grills on versus off?

Speaker grills detract from the overall sound to my old ears. Looks like I gotta replace the speakers, for something detailed with body for around 2 grand+-.

I do have to look into upgrading the interconnects to see what they may bring to the table. LOL I can see how this all plays out.
