So capacitance and inductance don't matter at all, in your opinion?TrevC said:SPAZTICUS said:My current system uses QED speaker cable. Would Naim speaker cable make a significant improvement to the sound ?
If the Naim cable has a lower resistance it will sound better. Conversely if it has a higher resistance it will sound worse.

EG for amplifier stability for certain models of amps?
Or a minor adjustment to the frequency response?

No, everything sounds the same. Just like Aretha Franklin and Marylin Manson - if they sing equally loud, that is.

As long as cables of normal construction are used the only important thing is resistance. Two separate parallel conductors in a figure eight. The frequency response won't be affected.

As a general rule, if you separate the conductors you lower capacitance, but increase inductance.
For short runs of speaker cable, neither are likely to be significant, but the beauty of engineering and the contributions made by Mr Farady, Mr Ohm and Mr Henry, is that given the basic parameters of the wire (L,R,C) and its length, it is possible to model the likely impact of the cable and the resulting speaker frequency response.
As is often the case, the manufacturers of the cables you have linked to don't publish these figures.
Clever idea though, that flatwire.
