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.

If you want to explore a possible "fix" that's really inexpensive, I would try a layer or two of felt applied around the tweeters,  The outside shape doesn't matter too much, square, round, hexagonal, whatever, you just want an appropriately sized circular hole in the middle of the sheet just fractionally larger than the tweeter.  Apply with double-sided tape or some such (reversible).  That might do the trick.  You can google this for more details and suggestions.
