cardas golden reference biwire

Brianmgrarcom, did you try moving your speakers to get rid of the boom?

since this is all part of a "big" stem upgrade I will be adding the new pre amp this weekend also. I have been adding components one at a time to hear the sonic diferences each makes. I am wondering what going from my inexpensive SS pre to my expensive CJ 16 tube pre will do to the sound. My listening experience is this pre will help the mids and highs not sure what it will do to the bottom end. If need be, I guess I will have to change cables.

It is interesting that after I added the Bryston 14B SST I loved the overall sound differences from my previous amp. The soundstage and depth was incredible at low listening levels. I was running an inexpensive set of Transparent single wires and bridged the terminals at the speakers. No bass boom but I felt it the overall quality could be better. So in goes the Biwire. So this problem is definately a result of adding the Cardas BiWire to this system so far. I will let you know the results after I add in the new pre.

Dave, I think the CJ WILL be different in the bass by a long shot! It should have more weight, athority, and whollop, along with more texture!
I have had to tweek the speaker placement after every upgrade, even small ones. It's a normal part of the set up process. Boom is usually a room/speaker placement issue for the most part and I would not attribute it to the wire yet.

Dave, I did not try moving them, at least that I remember; given my limited space, the boomy sound wasn't going away by the little I could move them.

Brian, when you changed speakers wires, that in itself solved your problem?
