If a speaker cable added 1 - 2 ohms of resistance would that be?

Ah old farmer the difference is you likely can’t buy one such as mine whether you have the cash and likely not…less than 80 made and I’m not selling. Lol

Listen to that music

No one has mentioned the potential audibility of the loss of woofer damping a series resistance of several Ohms would have although Erik and Mike circle around the fact. Of course plenty of “speaker selector” boxes have been sold and used by non-audiophiles that feature beefy 3 Ohm series resistors.  

I want to point out, that the difference in sound would be audible, maybe even euphonic, but if you want a tone control for heaven’s sake get a tone control. Far cheaper and probably better sounding.

No one is buying Fideliums because of the resistance.

I'll measure mine for you this weekend as I swap out amps. I believe mine are 11 feet(?).

Why would this be any different than the boxes MIT and Transparent put on their cables?

You can measure, but the figures I posted are accurate. They appear to sell 4-10 feet versions. The figures I posted are for the total loop (both wires).

They are not buying them because of the resistance because they don't even know it is there. They are liking it because of the resistance. It would swamp every other property of the cable. I think Eric is right, it is a tone control that cannot be changed. If the most common change is to raise the mid-range, is that not normally a change that people prefer at first? I don't know if that would be a long term preference.
