I actually have heard a difference in speaker cables once - albeit in 
a system with six woofers wired in parallel. The resulting 2 ohm 
impedance required a serious Phase Linear 800 watt amplifier and some 
really big speaker cables to sound half-decent. These speakers, 
driven by a 100W consumer Kenwood amp and/or 16 gauge zip cord, 
sounded rather thin.

Of course, the solution was 12 gauge zip cord that cost 15 cents per foot.
