As with most things in audio the effect of speaker cables will be very system dependent. Case in point, my experience has been the opposite of 69pete's in that in my system interconnects produce very noticeable differences whereas with speaker cables the differences are much more subtle. But to one of Al's fine points, my speakers are an easy load and impedance stays relatively high across the frequency spectrum. I use Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun biwire and find them to be an excellent all-around cable, but obviously YMMV.
How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers?
Hello. I was just wondering what your opinion is about the importance of speaker cables to the sound coming out of the speakers, and, of course, the sound the system altogether produces? Also, what are your favorite speaker cables to use in your system?
