Very bright SC and IC with coherence in imaging, soundstaging and timing

I have a new speaker with a 2“ BMR driver that handles everything from 250hz to 20khz. Naturally it can’t produce high frequencies as present as the mids. It needs +3db from 10khz on. No, I don’t want to look for a new speaker because I love for all other qualities.

Is there a speaker cable / interconnect that brings more treble energy yet still does not mess with timing (coherent speed), imaging, fullness and soundstaging ?

Up to 500 usd used, 8-10ft, black or clear color, round cables (no ribbons), sturdy, no boutique manufacturers, no diy. I usually prefer solid core over litz cables.

For 40w tube amp power

Thank you!

Just out of curiosity, does it have a dip in the frequency response at about 2Khz?

I am surprised the designer used that driver and didn't accommodate for it in the crossover. I would be interested in what the bass driver is that is being used with it?

If you ever get to hear a speaker with the SEAS Exotic T35 X3-06 I think you might like it. It won't go quite as low as the BMR, but it's exceptional for a tweeter that is regarded as possibly one of the very best. 1500hz to 25000hz

If you want to try the cable route, I have cables that I used to do exactly this. I just retired a system where I used Bolder M-80 cables, so it can be done. I will be selling them, but they fail your boutique criterion and the company folded shop. Copper & silver amalgam; 4 solid naked wires with slight twist.

Kimber 8 tc Litz is very good for each wire is isolated from the next 
the 12 tc  is a bit better still and great value.

Any speaker wire or interconnect that adds 3dB at any frequency is defective.  Might I suggest the Schiit Loki?

Actually, the Kimber 8TC is not true Litz construction. It's made up of 16 conductors that are indeed isolated from each other, but each conductor is made up of numerous strands (Varistrand) that are NOT isolated from each other.
