As 3D & immediate as 8TC but with more bass

Hi guys, I currently have some cables on loan from the Cable Company, who've been great to deal with.

I compared my Clear Day Double Shotguns to Kimber 8TC, Goertz MI3 & DH Labs Q10 Signature.

The 8TC really surprised me. Unlike all the other cables, it projects an extremely expansive image which is addictive to listen to, wide & deep. Well recorded material sounds very pure and compelling. On compressed material, it does have a trace of edginess, though; it can be a little lean.

I'm wondering if anyone who's heard the 8TC could suggest some alternatives that do the 8TC's soundstaging & transparency, but with more bass and sub-bass?

Kimber 8TC is more cable for the money than anything out there. It is one of the most neutral cables I have ever tried. I own and have owned more than 2 dozen cables in all price ranges and the 2 most neutral, true to my components are 8TC and Stereovox LSP 600. They just get out of the way. No sparkle, no mid bass hump, no wooly bass, no emphasis on any frequency.

You will experience trade-off with cables, not saying thats bad but true. Another bargain priced cable that will give you big bass and is truly full range is Analysis Plus Oval 9. But you will not get the top to bottom coherence, it also will not image like the kimbers.
