cables for Lavardin/ Living Voice combo ??


Just changed up my speakers to Living Voice IBX-R2. Amp is Lavardin IS Reference. I have Audience Au-24 IC and Speaker cables. Cd player is Resolution Audio Opus 21.

I'm finding the sound is less forward and more bass heavy than I would like. I'm looking to regain some air and sound stage that I had with my previous Reference 3a Decapo I speakers. I'm sure speakers placement has an effect I'm not happy yet with the overall sound.

Does anyone have any suggestions on cabling which might be well paired to the above equipment? I know there are many out there with the Living Voice/Lavardin set ups.

I was thinking of trying something from Synergistic Research or Acoustic Zen. Yours suggestions are greatly appreciated.

emailing Kevin is a good idea. The space is pretty small. check out the alan maher web site for some nifty speaker placement tips (maher modified cardas set-up). 18" is probably too close to the rear wall...bring out in 1/2 increments until to get close to where you want the sound to be (bass vs. depth) , then smaller adjustments from there. The further out the deeper the stage vs. the closer to back wall the greater/muddier the bass...mine are around 4.5 ft from back wall (huge room).
