Copper vs Hybrid differences


Can anyone help to explain the possibile differences that are benefited form a Copper constructed speaker cable and that which would be a Silver/Copper alloy? I'm trying to evaluate the preception differences without listening for like PNF Audio (Copper) and LAT Int. (Silver/Copper alloy).
Does one offer better inner detail and staging over another?

My experience is silver is highly detailed and analytical, while copper is organic. I experimented with the hybrid Python bi-wire cable from Alpha Core which I did not like as much as their MI-2 copper cable in a single run. The hybrid was a little too edgy in my set-up with more empahasis on the highs that detracted from the low end.

Now while I use copper for my speaker cables, I use silver for the ICs (Nordost Red Dawn) as I think this set-up works best for me. Detail flows through the sources and the benefits of the copper comes through the speakers.
