Shouldn't it be crisper/cleaner/more vibrant?

I know no one ever wants to talk cables…. But just putting my 2 cents out there. If you’re interested in investing in new speaker cables. Two of my friends have been very happy with Audio Envy’s speaker cables. Been a while since I’ve changed mine out but I’m actually considering it after listening to both of their systems.

The problem is probably your room, speaker setup, or acoustics.

OP "a bit brighter and cleaner." than what? What did they replace?

@patrickalston Of course the bass comes from the recording BUT speakers need to have the capability to reproduce the deep bass! My Legacies dip down to 18hz -2dB. Most of the Klipsch speakers can't do anything like that especially their heritage line that use folded horns.
