What are you current speaker cables? You may try Chord Epic which are silver plated OFC if you want to explore cables. As you have figured out, room furnishing and set up can bring a massive difference. It's good that you moved the carpet and resolved the dark treble issue.
Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?
Hej
My speakers are considered to be dark sounding and it has been OK with me until I replaced my easy chair with a small couch. Now the sound has turned a little too dark/muffled/dead. So I'm thinking maybe if I replaced my speaker cables with some other. Yes, I know it's a long shot, especially when my current cables are Kimber 8TC. But what do you say? Smaller carpet? Just don't say bring back the easy chair or buy new speakers :)
