Taming the high frequency
Thank you all for your input. It's all well received and valuable. I was hoping for room treatment correction if possible as that is the least costly but........I will try an old standby solid cable to see if there is any improvement.........or no... 
Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables
Wow I'm impressed by all the discussion on this subject and with the objective responses. I must say I'm pleased with the education I'm getting. It looks like there is an equal representation of enthusiasts in both camps. Very recently I aquired a... 
Taming the high frequency
Ghost, thanks for your input. Thinking about it even with the Krell there was some harshness at certain high frequencies regardless of the source. It is possible that the Lexicon is more adept at identifying the problem. I’ve never used any room c...

Directionality of wire
I can't breathe anymore, Y'all stop. My belly hurts. I love geoffkait and his superb command of the soon to be superfluous dictionary and thesaurus. His products are well thought out and back to the future when "since I don't use my brain, do I re... 
Room Response
LMAO,  too sweet  
Opening a can of worms
In case someone missed it, my experiment was conducted with full looms by both manufacturers. No mismatched cables.  
Opening a can of worms
Superb reply s to this point. Both sides of the debate are convincing. With the multitude of cables to choose from my small experiment was certainly limited in scope and it's goal was to ascertain that there was/is a audible difference in cable an... 
Opening a can of worms
Don't we love these repeats. It's like vintage TV.The title is catchy though. Got you to check it out. I should be selling cable looms.
