Flat speaker cables versus round core cables


I’ve been out of the audio loop for many years ! Is there a sonic difference between flat style speakers cables versus standard round core cables ? Cheers

     Couldn't decide between round and flat, so: I went for the middle and couldn't be happier (far as I know).

                           ie: https://analysis.plus/product/big-silver-oval/

Flat speaker cables like the ones Nordost makes tend to be the cables people go to when they want to brighten things up. In a sytem that tends to be very warm or laid back sounding this helps a lot to make things more lively.

For me Analysis Plus cables accentuated the low end way to much in my system. I needed Nordost to show me how cables are suppose to disappear and make it seem as if the speakers were attached directly to the power amps outputs :-)

flat cables have a flatter response

round cables are rounder sounding... 😁😂😅

on a somewhat more serious note, nordosts typically do sound brighter and more ’spotlit’ among the better branded cables, but i have no idea whether it is due to their physical shape/configuration 

The Silversmith Fideliums are not bright.

Audio Envy SP-12 aren't exactly flat, but they're not round either.
