Hello,
I had the 1C's and I could never wake them up,the 1C's are just too polite.Ran them with Rogue and McCormack amps,they always left me wanting more.As far as the cable upgrade I used Alpha-Core Goertz MI-2,it helped a little but I moved on from Vandersteen.I would give the AR Complete onther chance with a different speaker.
Good Luck!
