What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?

Op, Do you really want to know?  A $2,500 dollar cable will sound like a $25 cable, or a $100 cable, or a $99 cable, or a $20,000 cable or a $49 cable, or a $199 cable if you let your ears decide. If you let your eyes decide I expect a much more linear as opposed to random relationship.

Look at the system pages of most of the people advocating cables. What percentage of them have really well implemented acoustics? Aren't these people the self claimed cream of the audiophile crop?

Everything variable that matters in a cable for how we are using it can be implemented and controlled inexpensively. 

Do you have a limited even if extensive budget? This is not where you are going to make a difference.

Not a joke .

There is no reason for low capacitance for high efficiency speakers. Low capacitance only matters for speaker cables if your amp has stability issues and possibly high damping factor. Most low capacitance cables are high inductance and can roll off highs.

You can listen to someone like who can't provide any justification for a statement like "use low capacitance cables for high efficiency speakers", be taken in, lose your money, or you can accept some basic realities. The efficiency of a speaker has no bearing on how a cable will interact with it. The impedance of the speaker may, the output impedance / dampening of the amplifier may. The efficiency not at all.

Cable capacitance is like putting a capacitor across your output terminals. I would love for someone to justify how that impacts high impedance speakers as a rule?   Cable inductance can roll off your high frequencies though. Unfortunately, to get low capacitance, you need high inductance. So if you like rolling off the top end, go for it. Realistically it is not going to make much difference to likely older ears.

The problem jumia, is some people will say black, just because someone else said white, even if there is no reason. When you raise the question, they don't address it, they just make insults like the last 4 posts.
