Do speaker cables have to rest on floor?


Is it not recommended that speaker cables don't touch down on the floor? But rather simply extend from amplifier terminals to speaker terminals in a relatively straight line? 

My thinking is that this might present too much stress or torque on the terminals or connectors with the floor not bearing any of the weight. Cable risers or elevators are too much clutter and out of the question.

Thank you.

I am sure that you have some spare cd cases which make great cable risers.  Just open them up, rotate them 90 degrees and you have a nice, sturdy, inexpensive 6" cable riser.

No cable risers let them rest on the floor for more static then pretend they sound great.Get Shunyata cable risersASAP!!

@jl1ny but they do look cool and make cleaning easy at least my cleaning lady said so.
