Reason for your rolled of highs and better mid bass and bass performance is due to the fact that low frquencies tend to travel down the middle of wire and high travel on the surface.This is why so much research and effort has been put into varying size of wires within a speaker cable...trying to get the frequency spectrum just right at the speaker end.
A lot of smaller wire will give you a greater surface area and a better high freq sound but then your mids and bass will suffer.
Dont believe me, try running a lot of very thin gauge wires to each lead, so that each lead will have about 12ga total of say 30 wires....listen to your bass, that is if you even have any...
Follow Ups:
Yes, many smaller conductors will give you better highs and mid range. However if you have enough smaller runs equivalent to a large conductor you should still get good low end response. The relation and geometry of the multiple small conducts also plays a part.
......one could braid together a mix of...say 18, 14,and 20 gage solid copper core conductors as a single lead to get a better balanced result.

Or Audioquest or a host of others. That's the idea behind their designs.
Yup, like they say several ways to skin a cat
