The most transparent speaker cable

Gentlemen, I've been trying already for three cables in my system and none has all of the qualities I'm looking for in one. Can anyone recommend me the speaker cable which will be the most transparent with best detailing, not harsh and not muddy with the deepest bass and beautiful transients?

I've tried Revelation Audio Labs, Oyaide FF-20 V2 and Russian noname solid core AC in-wall cable. Today I'm gonna test the AR solid core but I doubt it will win. What I like in solid core cables is that they giving me the best and coherent bass I heard but at a price of the transparency. Of all three, the most transparent however was the Russian noname solid core AC in-wall cable but it lacks the bass slam and finesse.
Some recommend me to try as a speaker cable the Mundorf MConnect Metallfolie...

Not quite a newbie...but not technically inclined and definitely has tinned ears. 

After years in this hobby and am now wondering....

Is there such a thing as cables being "transparent" sounding? How does one really know if the cables are transparent (sounding)?  I really think that ALL cables have a sonic character. In fact...everything in the audio chain is colored. 
 
After hours and hours of reading articles, reviews and hanging out in hifi forums....most often mentioned is....System Synergy is KEY. If one needs more bass, more treble extension etc etc...forget about "transparent"....you are looking for something "colored" ....no?

Forget transparent...no such thing.
