Can speaker cables damage amplifiers?


I have been told on good authority that network cables such as TRANSPARENT and MIT can cause broad bandwith amplifiers (eg Krell) to "go into oscillation" and thereby cause some nasty damage. These cable manufacturers, apparently, are aware of this problem. Can anyone confirm this?

MIT cables are occasionally REQUIRED to PREVENT speaker damage. Wide bandwidth equipment (like Spectral) need MIT cables with many speekers.
