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

OP, I missed the "make my own speaker cord".  Sure can't hurt, and you might turn out pleasantly surprised.

If you are putting your cables into any sort of connector that is not spring loaded then you should never tin the ends. Solder flows under pressure and as soon as you tighten it, it starts to loosen.

Tell me what the resistance change will be and how that relates to the ops speaker impedance in the mids to upper base.

Once again this reflects a deep, substantial, significant misunderstanding I really do encourage you to acquire through purchase or your local library an introductory text on electronics so that you can "connect the dots" as Americans would say regarding you're incomplete knowledge base.
