Goertz
MI has very low impedance, around 6-8 ohms, and very high capacitance,
while the classic spaced construction cable, 'balanced' FM antenna
feeder, has 300 ohm impedance and very high inductance. Agreed that
we're talking a lot less than milliHenries here.


Actually, if the Goertz cable (or any other) is terminated in it's
characteristic impedance, it will not look capacitive or inductive to
the amplifier. It's terminal impedance will be a pure resistance.


Yes, but that isn't ever going to happen with a loudspeaker, except at
a very few specific frequencies.
