Will new power cords by my answer?
I don't know of a system that couldn't benefit from a power cord upgrade. However, much like ics & speaker cables they will change the overall sound. Thus, it may require some trial and error. If I may offer a place to start there are currentl... 
Speakers with bass response?

Is it so bad that it is good??
I bgeleive you might find sepultura to your likings both chaos AD & arise are great cds. 
my Talon Khorus sounds bad
