What cable for Vandersteen 2WQ subs

Im wondering if any 2WQ users are using wire other than the supplied wire from Vandersteen. I am getting very good sound but just a little lean for my taste with the supplied wire. My main speakers are Vandy 3A sigs. I am also using the model 5 xover and have tried many different settings. I have also tried all possible combinations of level, Q adjustment and placement that I can think of. Is using better wire a waste of money? Oh, I should mention that Im using two subs and listen to all types of music. I should probably list my system too.

Thanks for the response guys. Kjweisner, I think you are right about it being the room. I do have a pretty big dip at 125 hz. Dont get me wrong, the bass is just slightly lean. I dont perceive it as a huge problem. Also this is something new that just became more prevelent yesterday as I switched to brand new Cheetah interconnects. I demoed the Cheetahs before I bought them and I didnt remember them being leaner than what were my current Cardas Golden Cross cables. Now that they have been running in for about 40 hrs the bass is coming up and becoming much better defined. Funny I didnt think the DBS cables required burn in. Sdcampbel, did you ever try the included wires? If so are you getting better performance with the Kimber?
Thanks again.
