When using high end speakers with a high end amp that are very well designed, better speaker cable will make a difference.

Yet to be demonstrated this to be true.


Personally I feel that the difference between a well designed $100 cable and cheap lamp cord will be much greater than the difference from the $100 cable to an "audiohphile" $1000 cable, but those are my 2 cents.

Yep, it is just a feeling

Since the cable is supposed to deliver the amplified signal from the amp to the speakers, it should be designed to produce as flat a response as possible and have a low characteristic impedance.

Well, in speaker cables characteristic impedance is not an issue but resistance and inductance are. But, these are known and the limits of hearing is too. So, it doesn't take fancy design to accomplish this, nor should it cost anywhere near $100, unless you are buying a lot of wire.

Some speaker cables may attenuate certain frequencies and that should be avoided.

Yes, of course The attenuation happens from the high frequency first in a uniform roll off.



Although I'm pretty sure decent cable can be found at decent prices. I'll check around. Thanks for the advice.

You are welcome.
