What you describe is probably the single biggest reason to spend as
much as
you can on speakers. Unless your electronics are grossly
underpowered or
broken, different speakers will always sound far more different than
will
cables, or most any other electronic component. OTOH, it is folly
to
suggest that even the highest resolution speakers (whatever they
are) will
allow you to hear a difference where none exists.

Speaker choice has a greater effect on sound output than any other
choice you might make. However, I have not noticed much correlation
between speaker sound quality and speaker price. So you can't simply
buy your way to better sound. Doubling the price of your speakers is
just about as likely to result in worse rather than better sound. It
is for this reason that professionals are rarely willing to evaluate a
speaker unless they know its identity.
