Bi-wiring with different metals?


Is there any merit in using different metals for biwiring speakers (for example, silver to the tweeters and heavy copper to woofers), or is this likely to cause phasing problems?
I haven't tried it yet, but just after your thoughts.

I didn't think different conducting metals would create phase/timing issues over such a short run (8ft) but it costs nothing to ask!
My question was inspired by having bi-wireable speakers, and equal lengths of heavy copper cable and silver cable; I might give it a try.

As for Musicnoise's experiment, I might get around to that when I have a bit more time; I don't think I can vanish into the front room for that long without raising the ire of the wife & kids!
