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

I'll throw out this general statement. Static and electromagnetic energy degrade the end result(what comes out of your speakers).Every component is affected,cables,power cords,amps CD players,orDACS.The presence of  or lack of this energy,is why your system sounds better some days,and not so good on others.

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.
Good idea. It works better than cable risers.

After my beer post, it actually turned some people into poet.  Geofkait cried.  prof admits the truth.  Who said beers don't work!
