Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.

HI, just purchased an used pair of merlin vsm mme,replaced my Von swheikert VR3, my Question is, why cardas cables are so critical for this speakers, had cardas cables before, speakers and interconnect, and heated the sound of those cables, very muddy and slow, bass all over the place,coulnt'pull them out fas enough,
my preamp is joulet electra 150mk11, and I'm really scare to spend $3000,or more on used cardas GR,cables,now I'm using KCI silk worm with analysis solo cristal I/C, sounds good, but a little thin, great midrange, but not full body sound, that I'm acustom to, what will cardas bring to the table , in this situation.

your coments wil be apreciated;

thanks:

Cheers:

I belong to a guitar forum and a member there sez lead-free solder is responsible for the failure of some cell towers.

It's late and I haven't read all the posts. If I'm repeating something already said, please forgive me. Bobby's cabinet material has changed twice since the VSM's inception(if I'm correct). The driver's are not the same, nor is the length of the port or internal wiring.

The removal of lead was not a tweak, but a necessity to be in compliance with ROHS regulations. If it's removal resulted in better sound, it should be seen as a good thing.

Aside from the Watt 3/2, WP8 and Sasha, Wilson's speaker's have been the same with each model sounding slightly different from it's predecessor. Like identical siblings, the VSM may look the same on the outside, but are totally different on the inside.
