Hello Arul,i dont think that speaker cable will produce tight bass,after all its only supposed to send  the signal to your speakers.Speaking purely personal i,d go for either a sub to complement your existing speakers, or get better speakers,say transmission lines................Dave

Arul,

Better speakers are the answer in the long term, but the cable can help a bit. Chord and eccosse both tend to be bright and detailed. Maybe a more rounded cable would help, perhaps some Linn K20 or similar?

Transmission Line speakers are great (I own two pairs of PMC), but need a good power amp to get the best from them, even the little ones. (although PMC show fairly high sensitivity, there's no doubt they are crisper with a good power amp).

ofc, a REL205 sub or similar will add heaps of extension, but make sure you buy a sub with a low roll-off - the cheaper ones tend towards 75-80hz rolloffs, suited to sub-sat systems - you really want a sub that rolls off at 25-50hz, or you won;t get the benefit in hifi.

Best bet is to make sure they are as 'solid' as possible. Are they on good stands? They really need to be. Also if the stands can be filled then do so. ANY movement of the speaker at ALL is at detriment to the overall sound.

Also I personally found a a good 'mains cable' to the amp should get you a good solid bass increase. Nothing accounts for better speakers mind.

Also are they biwirable? if so id highly recommend that to.
