What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?


Sooo curious about this.  I now use cables costing about $200 and 20 yrs old.

dont want to throw out brands, but its well known.

what can someone expect?

Sounds about the same as a $50 speaker cable.
The only difference between a $200 speaker cable and a $2500 speaker cable is the number of zeroes in the price!
Please decide which cause i am confused.
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.
Uh, I would guess they SHOULD "sound" like nothing. Otherwise, you paid 2500 for something to add "sound" to your system?

Exactly what "sound" were you looking to "add?"

My customers were always trying to NOT "add" to the sound of their systems, but hey, that was in the 1970’s, so what do I know?

Here’s a crazy suggestion: Have your dealer set up a pair of Magneplaner speakers IN YOUR ROOM and see what you "hear." My guess is that, depending upon what other "sounds" you have added to your system, you will hear the music, period.

Imagine that.

Cheers!
I try not to buy into these post, but OK, here goes. A lot of people saying about lamp/zip cord: well you are certainly free to do what you feel is best for you and your system, and if you want to run .10 cents a foot lamp cord between your several hundred dollar speakers and likewise components, feel free. Or maybe your system is just not resolving enough to hear the difference, or maybe your ears are beyond their years or you have some hearing loss, its understandable. 
Or bigger, maybe you don't know what to listen for? When I was in my early audiophile years, my late teens and early 20's, I always swore I  could not hear a difference in MOST cables, not all. Then a friend who was older and in the hobby for a long time taught me what to listen for, we did some blind A/B and listened for other details. At first I was listening to see which piano note sounded better, or which bass note sounded deeper, that was it, I didn't know any better. That is one part of it and cables will make a difference in those things, but often the differences are much more subtle. However, when I learned how to listed I heard a whole new world and I heard individual instruments open up with separation between each one and clear focus, I heard a soundstage. For the first time I could hear notes coming right out of a sound hole of an acoustic guitar. The differences I hear on notes was also more natural, less edge, now there was a clean defined note with a black background. Now I could hear the differences between a $500 pair of cables and a $1000 pair of cables. Yes, I agree when you get into that price point of cables, the differences are more subtle and you have to know what to listen for and your ears and system have to be equipped to hear and transmit those subtleties. These differences are things you can't measure or show on paper.
I recently spent $2500 on a bi-wire pair of Purist Audio Venustas Luminist, replacing my 20 year old Purist Audio Musaeus and I am glad I spent the difference, the benefits were worth it for me and what I heard.
