Powercords and Speakers

I own a pair of Von Schweikert DB100's speakers that contain a seperate amp in each speaker that powers the bass. They came with their basic cords that are plugged into the wall behind each speaker. Do you think switching up to a better powercord for each speaker will have a worthwhile sonic improvement? I'm a believer in good powercords and use them for my components (Ensemble and Foundation Research LC-1). But since the speaker takes the signal from my mono's, which already have quality AC, and uses it to engage the bass amp; and since we're only talking about bass reproduction are improved power cords worth it? Thanks

I also have powered subwoofers in my Vandersteen 5A's and have tried various power cords. My Three favorites are FIM/CRL Gold, FIM/CRL Silver and JPS Power AC and AC+. A good power cord on powered subs, especially when with a speaker pair, is worth the extra expense. However you don't have to get the most expensive cord with filters, shields etc. because your only powering below 100hz.
