Mixing different brand cables a good idea or not?


I have mostly Synergistic Research cables for interconnects but have been experimenting with other brands for speaker cable. Is mixing cable brands recommended or just a bad idea? I know many people have said its always a better advantage to get the same brand when it comes to amps and pre-amps. Does the same advise hold true for speaker and interconnects?

I am in the process right now of trying different interconnects and speaker wire. I bought matching cables from kimber kable , nordost and paul speltz. i have been mixing different cables with each other . i found i like kimber for interconnects best . with paul speltz anticables for speaker cables. The kimbers add bass to the bass shy maggies i have. and the speltz cables i like much better than kimbers 8tc speaker wires . so imho it does not matter.
