I would take a look at your CD player. In my experience, it's not the most extended at the frequency extremes. By the time your purchase a perhaps ever more expensive interconnect than the 1030 you could have upgraded your CD player or bought an external DAC. Why the Monster 950i sounds more extended I do not know, but I have owned a Marantz 67 SE and still own the KS-1030's so I know those two products well.
KS-1030 lacks bass - Any suggestions?
I am using the KS-1030 between my Marantz cd-67se player and an Audio Research LS-15 pre-amp (which feeds into an Audio Research 100.2 via a balanced Audioquest Opal x3 cable). I really like the crystal clarity and soundstage depth I get from the KS-1030, but it lacks the bass extension that I got when using a Monster 950i cable. I am partial to silver cables because of the high resolution. Any suggestions for a cable that will be ultra clear at the high end and give me additional bass extension?
