Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference

Im fairly new to the hifi world and just recently purchased a couple of high end peices.my question is this:ive been reading alot about cables and speaker wire,do the expensive ones really make that big of a difference???Is it really worth spending a small fortune on cables?? And is Monster Cable really overrated like ive been reading? Any help would be useful,thank you.

So... Replace all Audioquest or Kimber cables with Radioshack cable. Got it!

It’s sad, how many fail to acknowledge the disparity of aural acuity (just like every other sense), among our species.      A good man will recognize his own limitations.      A wise man recognizes; not everyone shares the same limitations.      How many of the naysayers have actually TRIED better cables, etc, is another topic.     Then again; channelling Julian Hirsch just seems popular, in these threads.      Even if one has to resurrect a seven year old thread, to accomplish the task.

I suggest a simple solution ,  wire one speaker with one brand and the other with a different brand.  See if you hear a difference and decide for your self
