Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright

I swapped out my Audioquest Copperhead RCA interconnects with a pair that my dealer made, and the edge was gone, but since the dealermade cable was belkin 75-ohm video cable, I lost some detail, clarity and the midrange was muffled. I think the interconnects are the culprit. The Copperheads have very nice detail, but they are way too bright for my ears. What do you guys recommend? I don't want to lose the detail and resolution.

Thanks!

If it was a cable that produces edginess, I was referring to the speaker cables and not the interconnects. Monster cables for wiring are known to be edgy.

DEFINATELY THE MONSTER SPEAKER CABLES. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TRY CARDAS GOLDEN CROSS.I USED IT WITH MY ARCAM AND FOUND IT TO BE A PERFECT COMBINATION.

I agree get rid of the monster cables. Make your own if you are tight with the budget.

Are you sure it's not the room you are in?

If you are trying to figure out if this combination is unerringly bright and edgy you might want to approach your culprits one at a time. Were I in your shoes I would experiment with the room/accoustics/placement situation and cables first. If this proves fruitless,then you have your primary players to consider- source, amp, speakers. If you introduce the cdm1nts into the mix(switching the epos out), you may only discover that you like that combination more or less than what you have. Fine, I guess, but it really does not tell you what you are trying to find out.
