@wolfie62 : a mono pole magnet does not exist! If you could invent one you could qualify for the Nobel Prize for Physics!  
Weird
That sounds like the subs are out-of-phase. Could have come from the factory that way. You should check this and correct it!

Regular interconnect or digital?
+1 kijanki! I use a 2 meter 75ohm Monoprice between transport and DAC. No need to spend more!  
a better interconnect cable
Cable sound is just like religion. You must believe it to hear it! And like religion it is all faith-based! So you want shiny new toys to play with? The old toys no longer seem to be much fun anymore?  
Mono block Preamp
Mark Levinson made the first one back around 1980. It was the ML6 and sold for $6K the pair. Outrageous price then, now pocket change for today’s moneyphiles (who dominate the High End).

Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker?
I first heard the 57's back in 1978. They were powered by a pair of Futterman H3AA OTL mono tube amps. The rest was a Marantz 7 tube preamp, Thorens TD125/Rabco ST7 linear track arm/Panasonic strain gauge cartridge. Superb SQ! This experience set ...

Anyone still use MiniDisc, DDC tape or DAT tapes?
I have a Sony Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) player/recorder, along with three classical tapes (2 Philips, 1 DG). I haven't tried it out yet. It uses a special codec to reduce data storage. I expect it will sound much better than an analog cassette.  
What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.
Hold a seance and try to get Julian Hirsch to respond! I bought my Perreaux 2150B amp after reading his test/review.
