Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,

I recently purchased some Cardas Golden cross sepaker cables. They replaced my Dh Lab Q10s. I replaced the Q10s because i was getting some upper mid freq brightness.
I have Golden Cross interconnects from preamp to amp and from cd player to pre amp. The sound is very smooth and detailed .The bass and mid bass is not as authorative or as tight. The highs are better - more detailed and smooth.
The problem is the sound is almost too smooth the bass is kind of rounded off now .The sound is less dynamic.
My Question is.
Is there an interconnect that could give me back that great bass and dynamics of that i had with the Q10s, without the harshness i was getting. I think i would like to keep the Golden Cross speaker cables and try changing the ICs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

After trying many cables over the years I found and really enjoyed Solo Crystal IC's. I used those throughout my entire system. After a few years I got "the itch" and sold them all and started using something else. Well, now I am once again running all Solo Crystal ICs. Selling them in the first place was a mistake but I bought them all used, sold them for what I paid, and rebought them used once again. I think I paid less the 2nd time around.

I really enjoy these cables. I find them dynamic and not at all thin. I am not a fan of the ultra detail brigade thus these wires fit well with what I am looking for and at the price are reasonable (especially 2nd hand).

I'm running the following gear- Rogue electronics except for a Pass phono stage, Linn TT, Sim Moon CD, MD tuner all into large Revels. Speaker wire is Nordost. I think the system is resolving enough to let me know that in this application the Solos are first rate.
