Switch to silver for a treble boost?


I like my (budget) system, but I find it doesn't quite have the treble sparkle and 'air' I'd like.

I have the opportunity to buy a pair of 2.5 meter silver core speaker cables for less than $100 (hand soldered terminations, German surgical-grade silver multicore conductors), and was wondering what people's thoughts were on the subject: is it worth switching from my current heavy copper to silver add a bit of treble sparkle?

I have short steel stands (short to keep the tweeter at ear-height when seated), which have four brass spikes. Each stand then sits on a cement paver, which in turn is on my timber floor.
The cement paver was an attempt to isolate the speaker from my wooden floorboards and reduce the floor resonating with the bass, which worked.
I think the treble issue is more to do with my compromised hearing sensitivity at high frequencies; if only someone had told me to wear ear-plugs when I was younger and playing in rock bands! Oh well...
If you really want to change the stereo's sound then change the Stereo. The whole kit and kiboodle.
Use an old all tube pre with out of controll gain like my ARC (idle for now) Then employ a class D switching amp like the 500 wpc Spectron III its got digitistis in a minor key only. Then Spend a few bucks on using Silver lace cables from Home Grown audio. They are not really in the same league as Signal and I own both.
Finally make the funeral arrangements for the Maggies get a spine and just let it go. Then buy some enormous German horns that sound like a razor. No blankets just nice clean Avant Garde Trios the German horns. Hide the Maggies elswhere for a year or two or else you go back to Momma.
I didn't read all the posts so I don't know if this was mentioned already. If the 602's have dual binding posts, try getting rid of the brass jumpers. Make your own with a couple of short copper pieces. Second, run your cables into the tweeter binding posts and let the jumpers take the signal to the bass. At the most these will only help a little but it's FREE and every little bit helps. Good luck.
