Please feel free to completely disregard everything hombre said as it’s pure rubbish from someone who obviously has limited experience in audio. I mean, what the hell are “pedestal-mounted” speakers???
Anyway, it’d be helpful if you shared what electronics you’re using, and interconnects can be as or more important than speaker cables so let us know what you’re using there too.
As for speaker cables, there’s a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori cables on US AudioMart for $550 that’d likely make a big improvement. They have a nice refined but still nicely extended treble but will also help by fleshing out the mid and bass tonal density to further balance out the high frequencies. The Satoris are excellent and well above “mid-level” cables so you’d be moving up several rungs with them IMHO. BTW, I’ve owned and used them in my own system (in shotgun bi-wire form) for years and compared them to some other good cables and they remain in place. If I’m wrong you can just turn around and sell them for little/no loss as there’s a fluid market for used AZ cables.
While the AZs would be my best recommendation, if you’re hesitant to buy used you can try something like Morrow cables that offer a generous in-home trial period and are also very good cables. But as I mentioned above, don’t ignore your interconnects as they are critical as well. Anyway, congrats on the new gear and best of luck.
