It might be as simple (hahahahaha) as a speaker placement issue. Have you tried adjusting the position as the previous post suggests. It's cheaper than buying anything new. BTW I am a speaker placement salesman!!! I just wanted to be upfront about that.

i have tried alot of cables and there are very few that can be used together (imho)..

for ic's back to back (digital out, dac to pre, pre to amp)
xlo signature 2
i keep on back to this ic combo...even after tring some really $$$$ stuff..it is very, very, transparent with incredible extension and no coloration..
(sorry havent got tried the speaker cable or pc yet)

for a completely wired system
- audience ( works really well togther..really needs the pc to complete the package)
- soundstring (cables perform wwwaaay above their price)

disclosure.. i am in the medical sales by day and a closet cable junkie by night...
