The effect of using a speaker cross-talk canceller is critically dependent on room reflections, and the way the audio is recorded/mixed, but so is normal stereo listening. That is why speakers and the room make up 9X% of the sound you get from your stereo, and the source, amp, and cables make up such a small part of it.
Few realize this simple fact and spend vast sums of money trying to find cables, wood pucks, magic stones, vibration dampers, and etc., to correct problems that could be fixed by a few simple and cheap-to-make absorbers judiciously placed in the listening room, or even simple movement of the speakers by a few inches. Someone posted a photo of their system with a large screen TV between the speakers and a hard floor under them. Try the live-end/dead-end approach- get that big reflector (the TV) out from between the speakers, hang some carpet on the wall behind the speakers and carpet the floor and see how much better things sound. There is nothing you can do with cables, or CD players, or vibration dampers that will come close to the results you'll get by proper room treatment and speaker placement. If people are interested I can record a few songs looped through my C-9, switching it on and off and post it to a web page for DL so you can play it back and try it out. It will have to be digitized by my sound card which isn't top of the line, but you'll still get the flavor of what crosstalk cancellation can do.
