I have Focal speakers which are highly detailed and can get a little too precise sometimes. I added Cardas Golden Ref, ICs and it did the trick.Mechans, what you are listening to is phase distortion in the Focals & (happily) called it 'highly detailed'. By using Cardas speaker cables you've used 2 wrongs to make a right. Not a recommended way to setup a system but glad that you are enjoying it all-the-same.
