Combining different speaker cables for bi-wiring?


After spending the past few weeks trying different types of speaker cables with my system, I narrow down my choice to two brands of cables but I couldn’t choose on more than another.
The first cable I liked was giving all the details and dynamics I was looking for the highs and mids, but was lacking punch and solidity for the bass.
The second one I picked was giving me all the punch and fullness in the lows, but was too bright in the high frequencies.
Should I bi-wire my speakers using the first type of cable to drive the highs and the second type of cable to drive the lows?
Is that a common thing to do?
Would that affect timing and pacing between treble and bass?
Thanks for helping.
Cheers,

Interesting thread.

I bi-wire with DH Labs and use the 14ga T14 on tweeter and the heavier 10ga Q10 on midbass driver on my ACI Jaguar monitors.
This has been recommended by many users in using DH Labs in a bi-wire setup. The wire is the same I believe, though, just different gauges.
I don't see why, in general, there would be a problem using different speaker wire brands unless there is some specific requirement for capacitance or inductance.
