I KNEW someone would bring that up! :)Yeah, a closely/tightly coiled cable will result in some inductance, 'cause it'll be an inductor.
But a few rounds of loosely coiled speaker cable is a non-issue. As an experiment, since you're into this stuff, take 30 feet of 12 gauge twisted pair laid out more-or-less straight, and measure the inductance. Then, take the same 30 foot cable and loosely coil it up into, say, twelve inch loops suitable for stuffing under your furniture, leaving the necessary amount at each end for running to the speaker and to the amp. Measure the inductance again. Get back to me with the results. Alternatively, cite a source where this has been shown to be a problem in the OP's scenario.
