To even posit such an argument is ridiculous. Of course speaker cables make a (huge) difference. Sorry, but even a low level of critical listening experience reveals this to be the case very quickly. How large the gap is when comparing various cables coupled with speakers does vary based on the “sensitivity” of the speakers, but anyone that claims they make no difference plainly have no credibility in this hobby because their listening skills are either grossly deficient or they simply don’t take the time. The same speakers can sound sublime with one set of speaker cables (this matters arguably just as much with component interconnects) and unlistenable with another set of speaker cables. Btw, price of the cables isn’t linear with the resulting sound quality either.
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs
