one thing that lots of people bang on about is that speaker cables don't matter, or don't make discernible differences in sound quality terms, is because frankly their systems are not up to it.
you can't expect different cables to make a difference on a £200 amp right?, probably not even a £1000 one. But when you start spending lots more on amps and speakers, cables do make discernible sound quality differences. We are not talking expensive cables btw. Maybe only ones costing £6-7 per metre.
so it stands to reason the person will think cables don't make a difference if their kit is not up to it. It's all comparative of course. I've had systems costing £2000 (amp and speakers) and I couldn't really hear much difference at all with different cables, below that almost certainly. But when spending a lot more it's very definetly obvious when you make cable changes.
so this is the question - who is prepared to have a debate on this subject. No technicalities and x technical reason why there should be no difference, or a difference, but on the subject is system quality related to the discernible differences speaker cables can give and as a tweak.
