If you have any question as to whether there's an audible difference among
wires/cables, put one kind on one channel, another kind on the other
channel, and play a mono program source.

Don't you think that the difference between one speaker and
the other, both the hardware and their positions in the
room, would overshadow a difference in the sound of the
cable? I think it would be impossible for an "ordinary" user
to design a valid experiment like this. A better test would
be to switch wires to the same speaker, but it's harder to
do than simply using the controls on the amplifier.

I suspect that with the same type of cable on both speakers
in a more or less normal setup, any listener, upon careful
listening, would hear a difference between them.
