What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?

I keep mine off the hard wood floors especially the speaker cables. It certainly can't hurt, and the vibration from the speaker right there is definitely not good for the sound.

Very hard to try out diff cables.

rent a cable path is expensive and u cant really do many at a time. Getting warmed up cables also problematic.

My friends dont really have high end cables and more likely are not into all this audiophile stuf, and i dont want to make this a bonding hobby.

so i, we, rely on reviews, hi end dealers and forums to help guide us. And then we may make a move and buy a cable with eloquent marketing prose, accept the science, and absorb glorius anecdotal comments. And then wait several hundred hours for it to ‘breakin’. And live with it like a new child, we will love it.

Just sayin’

as for me, I’ll stick to chain link fencing wire. 

You know what this reminds me of? Remember going to the mall as a 10 year old kid in the 70s let’s say, that’s my generation and picking out new sneakers? Cell the sales person puts the shoe on your foot and then they always pushed on your big toe to make sure you had enough room. Then you put the other shoe want to make sure that your feet were the same size and that everything fit properly. At that point I can remember leaving the store and running around the mall and being amazed at how much faster I could run in the new shoes. I got to believe that some of that comes back to life as an adult when you spend a nice chunk of change on a set of good looking cables. It makes everything better, faster, more detail, warmer, larger soundstage you name it it makes it better.

@raysmtb1  You may be right and if that's what happening I'm ok with it as I enjoy listening to music and my system as much or more than I did when I was younger.
