Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers?


I'm sure variants of this question have been offered previously, but let me ask in light of the following:  I have a very modest main system powered by an Adcom 555II amp, Adcom GFP-750 pre-amp, and run into a pair of B&W CM-4 speakers (6.5in woofer, 6.5in. woofer/mid. and tweeter, and bi-wireable).  Any music with a moderate-to- heavy bass component (organ, bass fiddle, etc) just doesn't translate to my ear.  I'm using a mid-range pair of Monster cables, and in fact tried a second pair of Z-Series to no audible difference.  On the other hand I have a legacy pair of a/d/s 1090L tower speakers (2x7.5in woofers, 6in. mid-range, tweeter) that deliver thundering bass when needed regardless of cabling used, and powered by the same system.  Even tried passive bi-amping for the B&Ws by using an old Carver M-500t amp for HF input, and Adcom amp for LF input...no diff.  Is there any point really in looking at higher-end speaker wire of, e.g., thicker gauge, or exotic geometry, or multi-conductor "shotgunning", whatever, in order to induce greater LF response from the CM-4s?  Thanks for your patience.

In response to the idea of using 10/2 romex, there are one or two companies that are doing very large awg solid-core speaker cable like this.  However, in my testing, I have found that the awg of the solid core will dictate the frequency response.  Smaller conductors (such as 22awg) will transfer high frequencies but not low.  Larger conductors will transfer low frequency waveforms well, but not higher frequencies.  When I tested using conductors down to 18awg and 16awg, I found a roll-off of high frequency response.  It become very "low fidelity" and I also found that there was a boominess or "blare" in the lower midrange.  (solid-core silver may be different, but then again, silver has it's own problems).

If you look at the Audioquest Midnight, you can see that it uses a combination of 3x17awg, 2x19awg and 2x21awg conductors to support the full frequency range.  The Type 8 uses four different conductors (16/18/19/20) to support the frequency range.

One note, if you get the Type 8, I would not recommend doing a bi-wire configuration because you are splitting off two of the conductors away from the woofers.  With this cable and your speakers, you want as much conductor for the woofers as possible.  You could, however, get two sets of Type 8 speaker wire and use one set for the lower/woofers and the second set for the mids/highs.

I have read a lot of "raves" about the Duelund 16awg.  I did take a look at it.  It uses oil/silk fabric wrap, which is excellent for dielectric, but it's still just stranded copper.  I haven't tried it, but I would suspect that I would still like the Audioquest Type 8 better than the Duelund.  I have used very expensive OCC copper STRANDED Furutech cabling, and it still doesn't sound as good as low end solid-core (it just doesn't sound right in my opinion).

 And whatever you do don't go blowing a bundle on some magical cable that supposed to have amazing base… Cables make very very minimal difference at best. Since this is a signal carrying cable I won't say that it makes no difference, but it will be very minimal. 
 I will say that power cords make absolutely no difference as long as they are large enough gauge to carry the appropriate amount of current. 
Nothing does bass like a 12inch woofer with a BIG magnet! Get a pair of JBL 166's (like mine!) for rockin' BASS!
