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

This thread is better than beers. Better even than self-indulgence.

I experimented with using beer cans as cable risers.  I would drink a beer then used the empty can as a riser.   And guess what?  By the time I finished it worked.

"Roger Russell/speakerwire"....good article.  I wonder if rebar would sound better than coat hangars?    

Instead of a discussion, it takes it's usual tack and becomes open mike night, again. All the negative comments gloss over the fact that all of this can be done on the cheap and anyone can try it. Red herrings abound as valid points and dog piling ensues. 

Carry on my tin eared friends
There's no peace when you are done
Close your mind to how things sound
You'll still cry all the more👍

All the best,

You are no poet, sir!

With mono block power amps and 3 foot speaker cables , mine can't reach the floor .
