Hi fsmithjack,

Cabling does have a big effect but should not be looked to for wholesale changes in frequency response or sound character of a speaker. I think you will find that neither the old nor the new cabling alone is going to bring you satisfaction based on the described symptoms.

You local dealer has the clear solution in having someone from Magico visit your home and help guide you through this transition. I would jump on that ASAP.

Hi fsmithjack,

Saw that you posted that you are in Dallas on business until Wed. Albert Porter is in that area and I think he has his weekly audiophile get together on Tuesday evenings (?). Could be a good chance to experience the Purist cables FWIW.
