Need to warm things up a bit...

My new LAT-1000 speakers were lush and musical right out of the box. However, in recent weeks they have lost a bit of this, and dare I say it, sound at times almost brittle in the upper mids and highs.

firstly, may this be a break-in thing with the speakers? They have about 150hrs on them at present, I thought that should be enough.

secondly, what speaker cables can I try to warm up the highs/upper mids? Currently using Siltech LS-188 Classic Mk2.

My speaker cables are bi-wire setup, and I have both sets spades connected to a single binding post on the speakers,(as speakers only have one set binding posts);is this ok for performance? I can't see how that would cause a problem...

Opinions please...

I have tried the Cardas Golden Cross for a few weeks now, and yes, they do seem to warm things up a bit...they smooth out the top end and mids, which I like, but unfortunately they also kill resolution on the mids and bass. The mids and bass are mush compared to the Siltech. I replaced the Cardas with the Siltech last night and was totally shocked...I guess I had gotten used to the Cardas, but now there is no way in hell that can I put the Cardas back in the system.
Anyone heard the new Siltech emporer?
