Upgrading speaker cables...
Elizabeth, the cables only need to be 6'.Astewart, yeh, I sure did... It's like being on one of my watch forums, lol. Im gonna bite the bullet and get a set for $2-300 and a jumper. Thank you again, everyone.

Upgrading speaker cables...

Upgrading speaker cables...
Thanks for the response, Nonoise... Do you mean strip the banana terminals off one side and split the positive and negative wires to both terminals on the speaker? Im sorry, this is all new to me.  
Let's talk power cords
Would an upgraded power cord be any benefit to an AVR (Cambridge Audio CXR200)? Thanks.  
Dynaudio vs B&W help...
Ok thx!

Mtrot, do you think adding a separate, quality sub would help me at lower volumes?  
Dynaudio vs B&W help...
So, going smaller (like a bookshelf speaker) wouldn't be better at lower levels?i get hardly any bass at the lower levels. If I set the bass boost higher on the AVR, then its too much when I do raise it. 
Dynaudio vs B&W help...
If I may add... My current set up sounds decent at med to higher volumes. At lower volumes, which I listen to the most, doesn't sound that good. My my car on the other hand, has an amazing (factory) sound system. It sounds incredible no matter how... 
Dynaudio vs B&W help...

Dynaudio vs B&W help...
Freedriver, a few reasons: I guess I just presumed the 804's would be a better speaker than a passive Dynaudio. Size, I didn't want an overly large tower. Both were available and about the same price. I love over the look of the 804's, and I guess... 
Dynaudio vs B&W help...
Thanks both of you for those indepth responses!!! Would my avr AVR be strong enough to power the 804's sufficiently? That is my main concern with them. The 600XD has way more power (600 watts). Overall sound quality and clarity is what I'm after. ... 
Should I upgrade my towers?
Any suggestions? I read the Focals are high in sensitivity... maybe a newer version of a Klipsch? 
Should I upgrade my towers?
gdnrbob... thanks for the suggestions, I will look into them. As for dealers, only BestBuy around me. So, it will be a blind buy. Freediver... that’s a great suggestion, thank you too!
