Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?

I do not want to say they sound more natural.  Maybe more balanced than what I am used to

"Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?"

Not in my system, but apparently in your system.

I do find speaker cables make less difference than interconnects or power cables.

Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?

Well, there’s a nice pair of 8ft Acoustic Zen Satori cables on US AudioMart for $450, which is a little over half price.  I’d say give’em a try — IME the Satoris are outstanding all-around cables for the price — and if you still like your cables you’re doing really, really well and you can sell the Satoris for close to what you paid for them.  A near risk-free way to gain some good peace of mind there’s not a lot more to be had in your system even by spending LOTS more.  FWIW. 

Your opening statement and latest response says you're not sure and that you think you might be hearing something. If it's that close, enjoy what you have.

There's more out there than you can hear so I wouldn't come to any hasty conclusions. And, I wouldn't throw in the towel on a higher priced set of cables as it's starting to sound like a case of sour grapes.

All the best,

I have found that as I improve my components the difference in the cables connecting them together matters.
BTW, I am using my own DIY speaker cables.
