Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

A friend has loaned me the Nordost Valhalla I and II as well as Nordost Frey 2 cables. They are wonderful speaker cables but do emphasize the "brightness" of my system including my Wilson audio Sahsa 2 speakers.

Any suggestions? Would used Transparent cables provide a richer bottom end? What about Audience Reference?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. - Thank you - Gerry

The Wilson’s are what is bright!

Switch to a less bright speaker.

Yeah, the Wireworld Eclipse 8 would be a solution, but they are around $1500, not sure what the OP's budget was.

I assumed if the OP has tried and considered Nordost Frey 2 that Wireworld Eclipse 8 wasn't over his budget.

Wireworld is usually the opposite of bright, but with good imaging as a trade off. May be ideal for you.

The Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme cables are very good sounding and don't here toward brightness.  Their Matrix cables are much better, but cost almost 3 times as much.  I have the CTGE cables which tended to tone my VMPS RM40 speakers with 40" of ribbons per speaker down and give them more of an organic sound with better balance.  They go for $640 for an 8 ft. pair, but you could find them used for around $350-400 a pair.
