The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is


I suggest Von Schweikert Audio's "ULTRA Internal Wire Upgrade" at a 'mere' $39,700..

ptss
I've ordered a pair of the forthcoming Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers. How is that related to this topic you ask? The press release indicates (among many other things)....

"There are a myriad of other significant upgrades and refinements, including: new internal wiring with a specially developed twist..."
@gdhal ooooohhhh, I'm so jelly! Those speakers look incredible. Write up a long review after you've had them for a bit, so I can live vicariously through you.

gdhal, I envy you your purchase.  But I do think the specially developed twist is just over the top BS.

Twist as in twisted pair would be good for noise rejection and it wouldn’t surprise me if the rate of twist per inch is critical. I.e., the twist rate is not arbitrary and depends on the wire diameter among other things. Don’t get yer panties in a twist. But are the wires marked for directionality? Furthermore, it would be nice if SOMEONE took into account the influence of the rather massive magnetic field produced by the magnets on the internal wiring.
