Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?

My cables are laying on the floor (in a mess), would raising them off the floor really make much of a difference? The problem is they are quite wide and too long  http://mgaudiodesign.com/planus3.htm so any suggested props are appreciated!  Cheers

"...never bothering to see if anything they’re saying is actually true."
It is not.

Cable risers are, in general, too low.

They should be high enough for vacuum cleaner/mop to slide under. Convenience with floor hygiene is their most coveted value.

Carpet part is much more educating.

"3. which direction the fibers are vacuumed in vis-à-vis the cables lying on them."
If you have not been vacuuming in circles, you have been doing it wrong all this time.

"There was an immediate collapse in the soundstage when they were removed."
It must have collapsed all the way to the floor.
