Do I need equalizer for my setup?

[RobHolt]

I have also one question - can interconnect + speaker cables significantly influence bass range?
many thanks for suggestions and help

Quite simply, no.
Unless that is you are using extremely thin speaker cable over long runs.

If you want to experiment with cables try borrowing some or agree with a dealer that you can return them if necessary.

I believe that quality cables are a prerequisite for optimal performance. However, i doubt that any cables would significantly increase bass extension in your system. As per the above post, try to have a play in a low risk way - speak to a dealer or buy 2nd hand with a view to selling on if they don't do it for you.

For the interconnects just get a QED Quenex 1 2 or 3 if you're feeling flash or the entry level Chord.

For a laugh a used Nordost Solar Wind or Black Knight could be got for £40

Even better value is something from Maplin or one of eBays pro cable vendors.

Guys many thanks for taking so much care of my setup

Where could I buy those cables? Could you post some links? And which are those eBay pro cable vendors from which you would recommend to buy some stuff?

thank you

Rob will be able to help I hope. He bought some XLR cables from them. Seemed like good value. There are lots of people selling generic cables made from the standard pro wire and plugs, though.

www.studiospares.com sell some surprisingly good quality cables.

Check your speakers are in phase.

Its where I'd look first. Lukas is reporting no bass, which sounds like a fairly gross effect, not the sort of thing you would ever expect to change much with any cable kerfuffling.

Lukas, double check that the red speaker outs on the back of the amp connect to the red inputs on the speaker backs (and the blacks connect to the blacks) check it by following the wires themselves. If you have one swapped over accidentally, the result will be no bass (among other things).

Thank you for suggestion. It was the first thing I checked even when playing on mp3. One of the cables is marked but I rather checked the whole cable and red goes to red. I've got a cable from my friend just for testing purposes who thinks that buying an extremely expensive cable does not make sense. So he gave me Hama cable. It's not that long about 2 meters for each speaker and it's 1.5mm2 thick which is I think thick enough.
When I play my setup at low volume, my speakers don't produce any bass and there's not much trebles as well. If I go to 9 o'clock the detail starts to come into place. Just for information I'm using really crappy and very cheap interconnects so I'm wondering whether those are not responsible for this state.

I'll definitely give the setup a try in other room as well so I'll keep you all updated. In the meantime if anybody has any idea, please fell free to shoot.
Once again many thanks to all of you who're helping me a lot.

cheers
