$200 spent on room treatment will make a much larger difference than $100,000 in cables. Treat your room.

Put panels at first reflection points, add a rug for the floor reflection points. Put some absorbing stuff on the wall in front of you or behind you to kill slap echo. You won't even recognize your system after doing this.

You're wasting your time pursuing anything else.
