... here's huge difference: his remarks are based on listening experience, and yours - on ridiculous beliefs, untrained/impaired hearing, and all-encompassing cheapness.

I have experimented quite a bit with speaker placement,the port plugs and room treatments (ASC tube traps and the 8x48 ASC panels).My room is pretty large so I can move the PSB's well in to the room (and I'm not married!)Initially getting smooth bass was a problem but I've cured that.Mids and highs are pretty darn good.I still hear what sounds like a cabinet resonance with the PSB's.The speakers are VERY revealing of slight shifts in speaker placement,tube rolling,and cables.
"The speakers are VERY revealing of slight shifts in speaker placement,tube rolling,and cables."
Let's take these individually.
Changing speaker placement (and/or listener placement) virtually always makes some audible difference. There's no mystery there.
I'm not into tubes, but I understand changing tubes can make an audible difference.
Unless you use long lengths or switch small and large wires, changing cables should make very little difference, far less than changing the speaker or listener placement by a small amount. But if you develop a preference for this or that cable, my advice is get what you prefer.
I still can't get carcass93 to reveal what speakers he now uses. I wonder why.
