Speaker wire is it science or psychology

I have had the pleasure of working with several audio design engineers. Audio has been both a hobby and occupation for them. I know the engineer that taught Bob Carver how a transistor works. He keeps a file on silly HiFi fads. He like my other friends considers exotic speaker wire to be non-sense. What do you think? Does anyone have any nummeric or even theoretical information that defends the position that speaker wires sound different? I'm talking real science not just saying buzz words like dialectric, skin effect capacitance or inductance.

Even though I apparantly can't spell, I'm pretty good with numbers though - that's my take.

Pops, you are right, it is sickening. What you forgot to mention is the audio press which also helps to keep the wheels greased. It would all grind to a halt, if consumers would no longer play along.

Right Detlof, the press loves to spin. Lead us around like sheep.

Of Course it is a science. Speaker wires did not fall out of sky.!!!They are designed to carry a signa from amp tp speakers. The difference you, I mean most of us hear is as result of how good the science concepts have been implemented.
