@tobor007 - RE: Weakest link may be in the box.
it’s a bit like the reverse of taking the position that using good power cables is sensless when there is romex in the wall
However - the wires inside the box are generally individual conductors and not subject to RFI/EMI to the same levels as many speaker cables
From that perspective the individual conductors will convey the signal more effectively. So very often they are far from the weakest link
But you really need to assess what is on the inside before making any judgement.
Old speakers do tend to have very poor wiring in them so it is well worth replacing the wire, whereas newer speakers tend to have pretty good wire in them.
Does it hurt to upgrade - no.
Is it really required? - only if you feel the need to scratch that particular "ITCH"
Will you benefit? - probably - if you know what you are doing
Binding Posts are probably of more concern and in many cases, they should be replaced - so while you have the wiring exposed - change it - i.e. if needed
