Something I've often had long talks to people about, as long as the cable has a low impedance then whats the benifits over 10meters of Mains cable with 4.5ohms resitance (IIRC) or 10meters QED silver with 4.2ohms resistance?
I'm currenty upgrading my HiFi and although I use mains cable with the earth binded to the neutral to act as a semi sheild and live running through the middle. I'm going to buy a few meters of proper stuff to see if you can tell the difference.
Whats your opinion on this?

And sounds powerful and "in-your-face" too 
. I wouldn't wire my speakers up with any old wire, but nowadays I wouldn't spend more than 2% of the cost of the speakers on cable. I fact, as far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't spend much money on any part of your system until you've got a seriously kickass pair of speakers. My friend had a pair of World Audio Designs KLS3s, and we hooked them up to my £140 Sherwood surround amp when I first bought it (1997). They still sounded incredible, way better than my £200 Mordaunt-Shorts ever will. The THD introduced by most amps, even cheap ones, is in the order of .01% or less. The distortion introduced by most speakers is 1% or more. As far as I'm concerned high quality transducers are the only way to good sound, which is why I'm sitting here with a pair of HD600s on my head
