"Forward" sounding ICs and Cables?

I am currently using Wireworld Gold Eclipse III ICs and Stealth Premier Copper Cables. My problems is that since the Wireworld ICs have broken in I have too much depth in the soundstage on much of the material I listen to. Vocals sound as if they are coming from far behind the speaker, at reduced volume. Imaging and width of soundstage are great just too much depth. I have reduced this problem through speaker positioning but its not enough. I realize that the Dynaudio Confidence 5s I use are prone to this, but it bothers me. Any suggestions for cabling to reduce this problem would be appreciated.

I experienced the same affect with my Duntech Sovereigns. I experimented with toe in, adjusting my listening position & changing the distance of the speaker from the rear wall. This problem is fixable with some experimenting with these three elements & retaining your present cable.

I would recommend that you check the Cardas Cable site for speaker & room setup. The information there is excellent. It will address all the factors you are working with. GOOD LUCK!
