You'll never be able to do that. You'll always get the likes of Don
Pearce ranting about "doing the maths" and posting bull**** plots from
some computer simulation to try and disprove anything you say... rather
than actually using the software to figure out why these things are
happening.

What we found was that the Chord Odyssey cable made my speakers sound
sweeter for want of a better expression. The did tend to shout a
little on some choral works for example. Odyssey definitely seemed to
reduce this and make it more relaxed to listen to. As an aside they
weigh an absolute ton, the weight never fails to surprise me.

Careful, you'll have the thought police down on you like a ton of bricks
(or should that be a ton of Odyssey cables?)...

For what it's worth, I believe you. I use Chord Rumour 4 on the front
L/R and centre speakers, and it does sound fantastic. I tend to like
quite laid back music, and there's an active sub for the really low bass
anyway, so I don't have the lack of slam in the bass that you described.
But I can see how tri-wiring using a heftier cable for the LF would
solve your problem.
