Speaker Asylum

I'm leery of posting this in the Cables forum because they'll think I'm trolling. Those guys are sensitive.

But I am genuinely curious about speaker cable theory. I realize that many audiophiles consider speaker cable an important component in their system.

However, if you consider the wiring within speaker x-overs and the copper leads to the speaker drivers from the x-over, how does one reconcile using exotic cables when the signal has to traverse all the internal wiring within a speaker? Even the speaker drivers themselves have copper windings.
