Buying advice

I have an Arcam FMJ A19 driving a pair of KEF LS50s. Maybe it’s a tad, just a smidge, bright. I don’t even want to use that word because I know it’s audiophile death. Maybe it’s better to say that I’d like to take a step—just a step—in the Harbeth direction. Import a rounder, smoother, warmer sound into the mix. And I’m thinking that speaker cables might help. 

I’m constrained by a very small bank account and grave limitations on room correction. 

There’s a pair of Morrow SP2 cables for sale on this site for $66. The price is right but are those going to take me where I want to go? If not, any suggestions? Please keep in mind the constraints noted above.

Crazy paranoia: The Morrows are 10 feet long as opposed to the 6 foot length of my current Q.E.D. cables. (From Q Accoustics.) That extra length can’t possibly affect the sound, can it?
Thank you.

You more than likely have issues that result in your equipment sounding bright which are totally unrelated to your equipment. A "viby" rack or stand is all but guaranteed to add a hard glare to your sound. If you have your equipment on regular furniture that is more than likely the root of your problem.

Back in the day I found sticking a vinyl floor tile on the bottom of the surface my CD player was resting on was sufficient to dampen the surface and take the glare out.
