I'm just glad I do not possess hearing sensitivity that would allow me to tell which end of a copper wire is connected to the speaker. Such an acute sense must certainly be a curse. Without a doubt, such people get little sleep and can not concentrate as the constant din of audible input would be maddening.
With all joking aside, I'm confident that from the listening position, a half dozen strategically placed throw pillows can influence sound more than any speaker wire, no matter how much it costs or which direction the arrows are pointing.
