The more information you give, the less and less I think that any cable is going to provide a solution. I can easily forsee you spending a lot of time and money and still not resolving the problems by using cables as a band aid - it will end in frustration and anger (and poorer too!). This is from someone who has built and sold many thousands of cables. In fact the tissue trick I asked you to try has a far GREATER effect than any cable change (especially balanced cables) and fitting a damping resistor across the tweeter terminals will replicate the tissues effect but in a more consistent controlled manner.

Having a 'live' room with many reflections from bare walls I think is just adding to your problems, because it is midrange more than any other frequency that resonates around the listening room and drowns out the desirable bass and treble frequencies. I would imagine too that soundstaging and image focus is virtually non-existent. Putting some pictures up might help, a fabric wall hanging certainly will, as will rugs and pot plants.

I am concentrating my replies towards real solutions for you rather than merely gambles on various "flavours" of cables which won't even be remotely beneficial in curing your issues.
