Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons

I have heard the comment many times on AG that speaker cables,and ICs made of silver sound analytical and bright whereas,cables made of cooper are smoother but less detailed,(or warmer) Is there any truth to this claim?? What about cables made of "platinum", or other exotic materials?? From personal expereince Analysis Plus Oval 12(cooper) speaker cable after a long burn-in period did sound smooth and musical. The Audio Magic Spellcaster 2 interconnect(silver) was bright, but possessed excellent dynamics and detail.

There are different quality levels of silver cables along with different construction and implemetation.I find the 'good' quality silver cables to be very transparent,open,pure and with natural warmth and body intact.I`ve had no issue with brightness,edge or leaness in sound.The Ocellia Silver Reference I currently usee is so far the most natural and relaxed cable I`ve ever used.
