Loss of bass & full spectrum sound

A few suggestions:

1.
Use 10 gauge or 8 gauge speaker wire. Get the Belden 5T00UP (10awg) or the Canare Star Quad 4S11 (8awg). The thicker cable will offer less resistance than similarly designed smaller gauge cable. In my experience, I get deeper bass with the larger gauge cables. If you're bi-wiring, get a pair of speaker cables per speaker, even if you get the Canare 4S11.

2.
If you have a source with Balanced output, use it instead of RCA.

3.
Get to audition an isolation transformer type of power conditioner, such as Torus Power or Bryston BIT units.

I'm also in Manhattan and I have experienced something similar some years ago with another system. I did some experimentation a few years back looking into the effect of speaker wire gauge and bass response. Using cheap speaker wire, I found out that as the wire got bigger (smaller gauge), I got deeper bass and a more balanced sound.

Also, in my system, I get better bass response using copper wire instead of silver. Silver provides better definition, but I get a more balanced sound from top to bottom using copper-based cables.

I hope this helps.

What gauge do I currently have?

My cables are Audioquest Comet biwire

Audioquest does not publish specs regarding their cables gauge or electrical behavior, for some reason. I'm guessing here, but I doubt they offer large gauge speaker cable for their low-end or mid-range lines. Like many cable companies, they save the large gauge wires for the big boy$$$$.

The suggested large gauge cables are an affordable way to bring low resistance signal transfer from your integrated amp to your speakers. Given the same cable design, a larger wire gauge should yield lower resistance values.

Don't waste your money on the Highwire Powerwraps featuring voodoo science.
