Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?

Well, for my re-assembled 70s system I upgraded from 16AWG to 14AWG for the speaker cables.  😊

I can't get over how cluttered and sonically distracting his studio is. I mean, no matter what cables he's running through those floordstanders, it won't make a difference to me with all that shyte lying around. No to mention the glass wall. Dude- get a sense of space and curate your room!

Did I get the video right? The Kimber cable capacitance is 5 times the other cables but he says, that's not so important but the Kimber measures the best, then says to be sure to use Kimber 8TC like I do? I guess my take-away is he likes Kimber 8TC, uses it in his system, recommends it...but all cable sounds the same? Am I confused? 

You guys call them cults, I call them tribes. 21st tribalism is incredibly concerning to me and I think it is the direct result of far too much bad data and the demeaning way in which we address those with whom we disagree. 

When doing a speaker cable review for HT he can never admit that there is a difference. It is a simple math formula on cost. We all know that in a two channel set up the proper technique is long component cables shortest speaker wire possible. Now try to apply this to a 9-1 Home  theater set up. Long speaker runs are unavoidable unless you amp each channel separate and place an amp in ceiling next to speaker. If you did your component cables are going to grow fast too.  Not going to happen. Now the math. If I am going to dump $1000 for each speaker run my 2 channel is $2000. Now my 9-1 channels is $9000 then $10,000 when you add sub. Not to many people can increase there budget by 80% for only speaker wire and spend more than the cost of their amp. The YouTuber does not want to admit that his system could sound a lot better with upgraded speaker wire as he does not want to put that cost burden on the system. This is the dilemma we go through every day in this hobby. Yes it will sound better but at what cost and if I double the cost will it sound 100% better? Welcome to our world and enjoy the ride and the music.
