Given that most high-end speakers can be such a 'tricky' load to drive, I'd say quality does matter. That does not mean that you have to spend the equivalent of a used car to get it. Years ago, I had the experience of speaker wire that could literally 'tune' the sound of your loudspeakers by finding the best length. Granted, it was heavy-gauge, neoprene-jacketed stuff, and wasn't very good overall, but it did teach me about the effect speaker cable can have on sound. Maybe you could split the difference, and buy some moderately-priced wire in the exact length you need? Might just give you terrific sound.
short cable length: does cable "quality" matter?
Hi, I'm using short length of speaker cable (3 feet/ch). Is it important to use the very best cable you can get (>$300/ft), or is it sufficient to use some cheaper cable ($3/ft), like for example Supra copper litz speaker cable (2.5 square mm thick). Thank you.
