Advice and help understanding, choosing a Widebander / Single Full Range Driver speaker?
I have had used full range speaker with 300B SET amplifiers for 4 years.But it had lot of limitation in treble.After I switch to Lansche 4.1, I had been happy with pristine treble that I can not get with full range.https://www.audiogon.com/listing... 
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
I recommend you to do power conditioning instead of changing speaker cables.Look for used Power conditioner in Audiogon within your budget.Another option is to buy the linked listing.Tim offer 30 day’s return.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
There must be something special about E-card.I ordered one set (5cards) on last Sunday.I received it Tuesday.After placing near power cables on the equipment, the noise got reduced with more natural sound.I ordered one more set.Tim kindly sent me ...

Had anybody tried this
After replacing Amperx 6sn7(Bugle Boy) with Bad Boy , the sibilance is almost gone.I placed more bells behind the speaker close to the floor.Wow bass got tighter and more tuneful.I am listening to "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.It sounds terrific.You ...

Speaker Recommendation: 20K range
https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis96ej8-legacy-audio-aeris-with-wavelet-processor-store-demo-s-40...This appears to be good deal.But I had never listened to this speaker.Thus you had better get the opinion from Legacy users. 
Had anybody tried this
@geoffkait As you mention, there are too many variables, but it is not that easy to change placement behind the speakers with lot of cables.It will take time and I will keep doing experiment few more days and report the progress. @To everybod... 
Had anybody tried this
With more bells, bass got more dynamic, but with it more sibilance too.Now I realize that my system got tamed too much without edge.With 7 bells, I am getting just enough sparkle and freshness out of my speakers. 
Had anybody tried this
I had reduced no of bells from 10  to 7 by taking out upper ones.Now it has just good enough sparkle.Eva Cassidy' "Field of Gold" sound fresh and marvelous. 
Had anybody tried this
Good News!After placing 5 Perfect Path Technology E-cards near power cords, the sibilance subdued substantially.This could be the way to combine the better focus by bell with natural sound by E-card.The only problem is that E-card is much more exp...

Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
If you can stretch your budget.I recommend Jay’s CDT2.It is built solid and sounds almost top grade.I got it yesterday. So far it sound excellentThe only better transport that I had heard is CEC TL0X which cost around 10k used. 
Had anybody tried this
This is a cheapskate experiment that more people can afford.So far even soundstage appears to get wider and deeper with more dynamics.The only bothering thing is sibilance out it, I will try to find way to control it.Any tweak can be dependent on ...
