Hi All - First post from a newbie ...try to be kind 😉
My current HIFI setup is quite 'bright' sounding (CA 340A SE, 340C V2, CA DACmagic and Monitor Audio RS1s/Atacama stands). I think this is probably being compounded by non-ideal room acoustics (8m x 3m with wooden floors/window blinds and painted walls) and my choice of speaker cables (QED Silver Anniversary XT)
Experimenting with locations of the speakers recently has certainly yielded some improvements but for this to be practical this necessitates purchasing new/longer speaker cables. Changing room decor significantly isnt really an option.
Can anyone recommend a good value speaker cable (<£6 per m) that will give an improved bass ?
I've considered Chord Silverscreen but Im a bit put off by the cable diameter (1cm!) - one of the runs is a bit tortuous and will be in excess of 15m so Im keen use a fairly flexible low profile cable that isnt too thick
Does anyone have any other relatively cost-effective tips for improving bass performance in my current setup ?
All advice welcomed
