Interesting Stu...
And is has that ever-popular bordello look about it!
Have you ever tried listening to speaker wires laterally? If I hook up a battery powered Amp. between the ends and listen away from the speakers with headphones it seems to me that I should be able to hear the signal "drop" across the cable. Probably could see it's spectrum running an FFT on my laptop also but I think listening would be more telling.
I know that paragraph may seem off-topic but my first thought on seeing your scheme was wanting to know what was going on and I was trying to think of a way.
Just sweeping it might show something also, especially looking at the phase. Way back when I switched to Kimber they were flat to 20Kc feeding my speakers while the Audioquest one's (which didn't sound as good) were over a dB down if I recall correctly.

because the results were so apparent. I believe the two different cables are inductively coupled: the field of one is coupled to the other and vice versa.
Strange if you eave the Kimber unhooked, the AQ has more top end and if you disconnect the AQ, the Kimber has better bass.
In a similar fashion th Kimber Bifocal and Trifocal series employ the same technique.
"I believe the two different cables are inductively coupled: the field of one is coupled to the other and vice versa."
Really they're bound to be, but I can't intuit an approximate result. Even if I knew the construction of the AQ it would be a SWAG at best. Need to measure. Shoot even the mechanical resonances will be significantly different than the cables used individually.
Interesting stuff...
