Why use speaker cable at all with monoblocks?


I was wondering...how come there aren't monoblock amplifiers out there with leads that will plug directly into a speaker, rather than through speaker cable? I realize the terminals on the backs of speakers vary, but I bet something could be fashioned to stick out of an amplifier that had a small degree of flexibility in terms of width from each other, etc.

Who was it, Yves Bernard Andre who went on and on about why 1.5 meters is the minimum cable length required to mate an amp with a transducer? Forget why. Not even sure YBA sells/makes cables, either.
Pro monitors do it for simplicity and compactness, not to optimize voicing. Hell, most of them have separate mid and tweeter level controls for room/taste-matching. You think Genelec, etc. do this to remove cable-voicing? C'mon....
