Legacy Classics and bottom end?

I love the top end of my classics but the bottom bass can be bloated at times. I have a Coda 300w / 600w into 4 ohms so power is not the problem ( I assume ). Has anyone bi-wired their speakers and had good results? I am looking at the Signal speaker wire. ( oh, I am using a Kimber cable built for legacy... kind like a 8TC. Plus.... do spades seem to do better than banannas? Any help would be welcome. I have checked all connections.... speaker wire is not near any power cords.

I own a Legacy Focus. I am using it with an Older Krell Amp KSA 250.
I am bi-wiring with Ridgestreet Audio Poemia Speaker cable which is a silver ribben type cable. It truly brings out the clear bass notes.

Of course the Legacy speakers will have to placed out into the room 3-8 feet from the front wall and be away from sidewalls by about 3-4 feet. Small changes towards the center and front and back brought the bass in tune.

But again, I have tried many, many speaker cables and the Ridgestreet poeimia is the best for me.

Looked at my posting back on 2005 on this thread.
My system has changed completly.

What I still believe is the Focus bass can sound boomy or tight , just depends on the cabling and speaker placement.I was able to dial it in with much trial and error.
Probably the same for the Classic.
