Thanks to all replying to cd sounding like LP.

Newbee, I respect your opinions - and am not claiming that a cable-swap is the prescription here - but I think your post misses the point even as it implicitly acknowledges it: Yes, it is true that speaker cables cannot actively 'increase' bass level or extension, but they can certainly *decrease* it, which absolutely means that, depending on the partnering amp and speakers, a cable swap can definitely change (including improve) what you hear in terms of extension and weight - as well as tonality, transient response, and dynamic expression, same as any other part of the frequency range. (This is something I have heard, and it would surprise me if you were to tell me you have not, so maybe I'm misinterpreting your post...)

I was speaking more 'in point of theory' than anything having directly to do with the thread-head's question, just regarding what a few of the comments in your post seemed to imply about what to possibly expect and what not to expect from a speaker cable change...
