Just wondering about speaker cables

Had a crazy thought, not an uncommon phenomena these days.Can you use more than one set of speaker cables at a time? Not talking about bi-wiring, I am talking about connecting two cables to the amp and to the speaker using the same post. My thought is if a cable has a certain characteristic that you like (Tight high end) and another cable has something different (More bass response) could you run them together to try and achieve the best of both worlds? Both cables are the same length.
Would this create some kind of feedback loop or overload the amp or speaker?

OK, so this is how it went last night.
One pair of DH Labs Q-10 with banana plugs on both ends.
One pair of Silversmith Fidelium ribbons under the post on both ends.
Pass Labs X250.8 to Martin Logan 13a.
Started off low and slow but it sounds good so far. Cranked to my normal listening volume. WOW, nice tight base and the high end was still crisp. Loving it so far and the amp did not take on any extra strain that I could detect. The temp was normal and the needle never moved as usual.

Loving it so far, will keep you posted.

I don't think there is a weakness in the Fidelium cables. They sound good on their own. I had the other cables available and just thought why not run them both.So far I have been quite pleased with the full sound of the 2 sets.
