Is High End Cable Really Worth It and What Brand

Hello. My system is almost complete. I'm just waiting for the Dynaudio Center to arrive and my McIntosh AV system will be up and running. The dealer wants me to change out my speaker cable (which I paid a lot for), claiming I will get much better performance out of the dynaudio speakers. The cable I bought (from another dealer) was expensive, but not by the standards of what I'm being told I need. Any advice here would be most appreciated. Is it worth $500.00 of cable? I don't want to have things just for the concept. I will pay if the results are real. I just don't know. Thanks for your advice.

I suggest you read the following site written by Roger Russell of McIntosh on speaker wire. McIntosh did extensive testing on speaker wire some time back and answered quite a few questions. Here is the link:
http://www.sundial.net/~rogerr/wire.htm
It is very comprehensive so be prepared to spend some time.

I use old Esoteric 8 ga wire; a friend gave me a spool of it in the mid 90's so the price was right!
