Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?


After listening to many speaker cables, I am listening to basic 14 Gauge, high purity copper speaker wire and find myself shaking my head.  Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?  I am really starting to ponder that question.  I think I am hearing things on my records I never heard before and better balance of sound.  What are your thoughts?

@nac722 "The best cables come from pre-1980’s Kirby vacuums. ..,... These things work the best. Better than the $1 a foot stuff and better than the $10,000 cables. "

What specific $10,000 cables have you actually compared the Kirby vacuum wire to and what were the specific differences that you heard?  Also, for added context ,what equipment - brands/models do you have in your system?
