Hi guys, apologies for the belated reply. Gander, I don't think you'll get enough value out of an upgrade unless the cable you're referring to is from the QED Miniature cable range, the ultra-slim design used for low-profile installations. These are perfectly adequate cables, but can equally be improved upon by more conventional, fatter types. But if that's what you've got already - ie the QED Performance, or P-SW, as it used to be known - then I'd say leave it at that.

Good tip on the supporting platforms, by the way. In rooms with a suspended floor (which is most rooms, of course) they can work really well. Positioning in general is a huge subject with subwoofers: get it right and it makes all the difference, as I'm sure you know.

As for M from the Panasonic Store - same again. Crimson's fine, and given the context of your system, perfectly acceptable. Save your cash towards an update on your YSP-1100 instead: being able to access HD Audio (say, via Yamaha's YSP-4100) should be your next aim, I think.

you just got me checking the back of my RSW12! I use the miniature performance and standard power cable. Do you think I'd hear gains by upping the ante?
 
In your system, I'd say yes, definitely. Try the QED Performance or Reference sub interconnects (pick which one suits your budget best, obviously), plus a decent mid-price mains upgrade. The Clearer Audio model I mentioned earlier is a solid start.

Worth checking the drive unit mounting bolts with your sub, too. Love it to bits, that one, but it's a heckuva powerful amp in a smallish, sealed-box enclosure. Give everything a good tighten up if needs be.

Cheers Andy - I love it too! I never realised what a sub could give before I bought it.
 
Thanks Andy for your advice. In regards to the YSP-4100, im very tempted but it's most likely that it wont happen as i bought the official stand for the 1100 sound bar and matches the tv perfectly, where as the 4100 does not have a specific stand or if there is, it's not nice as the YEF-ST1 stand that i have now, which is a shame. The Panasonic plasma i have is the brushed steel wireless version which i have on top of the stand which is silver too 🙁

Who know's, i might plunge my hand in my pocket as ive upgraded my tv 3 times in 3 years, so who know's what might happen?

Thanks Andy. I have the one you are referring to (the proper skinny low profile number). I think i will invest in an upgrade right away....
