In Reply to: Why use fancy speaker cable posted by throwback on April 12, 2016 at 13:42:08:
The only think that I can say is that despite the logic of relatively thin gauge wire inside the amp and the speaker, my ears have determined that certain cables impact the way my speakers sound.
The infinite variety of setups out there means that a particular speaker cable whether it's fancy or not will not have the same effect (or any) in any particular system.
As I am sure others have said, the only way to be sure is to try out different cables for yourself and listen for a change. Notice I don't say "improvement", just a change. If you're lucky, your system won't care if you use lamp cord or mega-buck silver cable.
The way I do it is to absolutely not read ANY of the ridiculous marketing about cables and just listen to them vs what I have. If I hear a change and if that change is favorable, then I decide if the price is worth the improvement.
