Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?


My cables are laying on the floor (in a mess), would raising them off the floor really make much of a difference? The problem is they are quite wide and too long  http://mgaudiodesign.com/planus3.htm so any suggested props are appreciated!  Cheers

Actually, putting a drumkit on a riser drastically effects it’s sound, and some recording studios do so for that very reason. But not as much so as where in relation to the walls the kit is placed. Avoid at all costs cinderblock walls, as I learned at one studio in North Hollywood. Too close to one made the sound all "phasey" (think "Itchycoo Park"). Out as far as possible into the room is a good rule of thumb.
Interesting timing. 

I'm of the mind it really isn't going to change things in the slightest. But, I'm game to see. 

I ordered a set of fuses and when I got the invoice it said congratulations we're sending you a free set of cable risers for free.

Box is delayed somewhere between here and Philly so gonna have to wait longer to hear for myself. 

Wondering if my box would have been ontime if it was raised off the floor of the truck? 
I have found that any sonic benefit of raising the cables is negated by the irritating noise made by the mice feet when they do the limbo under the cables.
