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?

IME, speaker cables are the most important of any cable.
I replaced $6K ones with $1200 Silversmith Fideliums.
Silversmith says that they are 3 times better signal transmission (I believe) than their silver cables at 1/10th the price.
One of the best upgrades I ever made!
