Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?

My cables are laying on the floor (in a mess), would raising them off the floor really make much of a difference? The problem is they are quite wide and too long  http://mgaudiodesign.com/planus3.htm so any suggested props are appreciated!  Cheers

Cable raiser manufacturers also sell a special gas mixture in pressurized tubes which you spray in front of the speakers which increases the frequency response to from -50hz to +1 megahertz.  Especially the negative frequencies are of enormous importance to sound quality.
The frequencies above 100k are reserved specifically for the people who can hear the difference the cable raisers make.
