I must write a few words in defence of "wire is wire".

Wire, let us say 20 ft of 12 gage speakercable, has a virtually flat
frequency response and zero distortion. That doesn't leave much room
for believing it colors sound.

It's flat up to about 100khz or so. Above that the self inductance and
the skin effect contribute to roll off. Some of the esoteric cables are
flat to well above 100khz. This is not important to me, but it appears
to be important to some.It's very important if you're entertaining bats and some other small
creatures.

The point is that 12 gage wire is more than good enough. No magic
speakercables needed.
