Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song.
I have a similar setup. You have to get the sub blended properly with the mains and all those adjustments are your tools. First level but then also rolloff frequency and then phase. The trick with one sub is get that all right at your listening po... 
What are you streaming tonight?
"Seven Stones" - Genesis off my in-house music server. 
What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ??
I would choose based on on which one will Provide greater isolation from external vibration and track the record better. Tracking depends on Cart/tone arm combo as does the sound. Which one is that? 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Nobody can show any particular geometry is any better overall than another.   It's all hearsay.   So the answer is people may think certain ones are worth it but there is nothing to back it up so spending a fortune on wires is a pot shot at best.

Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Ironically, I use DNM Reson ICs almost exclusively.   The geometry of these are quite unique however also quite minimalist.  Not cheap for a very minimalist product, but I do find the sound to be uniquely coherent compared to others.   I suspect t...

Speedbump,Yes I may be madman today, but when I checked just now agon currently shows 1064 cable listings more than any other category of "hardware". 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Yes I do the same. Buy used mostly. The costs of the wires I’ve settled on for years now run from ~$60-$400 all used. I payed most for a longer run of speaker wires. To each their own. If the wires are worth it to you that’s all that matters. I ju... 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
My point is exactly that.  Value is unknown but prices are very high and everyone and their brother is selling.

Regarding noise when an issue with wires, I am a big fan of shielded wires for that and they need not be outrageously expensive.  
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
The problem there is if they are worth it then people would not be selling. But they are so apparently not.I imagine some take a beating Buying new then selling for a fraction of what is paid. That’s called not worth it in my book.More likely many...

If the cables are worth it why are there always so many for sale here? They should be hard to find like other high quality gear that is worth it.   The 4 figure wires appear to be a dime a dozen.

How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer
Having a MIA (again) “war-time” President sure didn’t help with that either. Don’t give him a cent either for surrendering without a fight.  
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Yes these wires are very complex practically like spacecraft yet there are hundreds for sale on this site at any given time often costing more than much simpler devices like amps and speakers which are much easier to make and much  harder to come ...
