I run a Diamond 9.6 for front, Diamond CS for centre, Diamond 9.1 for rear and wharfedale SW 250 as my sub. I still feel some of my vocal from my centre is a bit muffle. It could be because of my cables or maybe because my setup is in a hall and not in a close room. Does anyone know any good speaker cables to fit my speakers? Bright cables would be good to counter the warm sound.
I'm using el-cheapo speaker cables now.

QUOTE(tepetlah @ Jan 14 2009, 09:40 PM) does the quality affected since it china made? Well, it is neither a subjective nor straight question. Even B&W now is shifting their production floor to China. And yet still sought after and the price is as usual, killing... I would prefer them to be made in China (or anywhere else apart from their home countries) since theoretically it would be cheaper. Take an example, Bose. I believe everyone agrees that Bose produces quality products but usually found overpriced. One could build his / her HT far better given the $$$. Bad thing about made in China is lifespan. We often heard people saying that UK or US made speakers last longer, perfect craftsmanship, etc etc. So it is up to one how much he's willing to spend. If budget permits, go for UK / US made, else you know where to find. Just my 2 cent. Please don't flame me if one not agree.
