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?

IMO if your system isn't capable of resolving the tiniest differences it is unlikely you will hear any difference in cables below a certain price point although copper & silver/silver over copper comparisons may yield results.Of all the cables I have tried(several Audioquest mid level,Nordost entry level,Signal & Marrow)The Zero Crystal Copper Zen Acoustics got my $.
In an interview with one of the audio rags a LONG time ago the great speaker designer/builder Bill Dudleston(Legacy Audio) was asked the importance & orderĀ of components in the playback chain.His reply:1.Recordings.2.Speakers.3.Electronics.4.Cables & tweaks...Apparently he,as I,feel cables are of limited importance.
