I'm not going to say what receiver I have or speakers just what happend when I changed wire. Before I was using standard 16 AWG no name wire and now using RCA high-performance DT100SW4 14 AWG. The sound is so diffrent I'm having a hard time geting use to it. Over all it's much brighter and clearer but I'm not sure thats a good thing. I've had to make several changes to get the right sound: *Put the gill's back on (to bright sounding) *Switch from small to large speakers (in setup) *Ajust the sub output (turned it up) *And play at a lower volume setting (more overall volume at the same setting) Was just woundering if any one else had the same experience.
