How goofy is this?

While waiting on jumpers for my new Audience au24e speaker cables i got impatient and figured I'd see how things sound with the au24e's to the high posts with a set of zu ibis to the low.

Granted I may have a tin ear but this seems to sound pretty good. I'm hearing - I think, or imagine - more detail, more air, more 3D, more dynamics, and a lot more bass than I was with my biwire Rockefellers.

Is this setup really whacky? Or is it possible I'm really hearing the improvements and not imagining things?

Doesn't register on the goofy scale for me.
Same here. I don't see any reason to be surprised.

One suggestion I would make, though, if you haven't already done it, is that you go back and forth a couple of times between the new arrangement and the Rockefellers to confirm that your findings are repeatable. That would rule out the possibility of extraneous variables such as improved contact that might have resulted from scraping away of oxidation when you changed cables, or unrelated things such as changes in AC line noise or voltage.
