How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers?

Hello. I was just wondering what your opinion is about the importance of speaker cables to the sound coming out of the speakers, and, of course, the sound the system altogether produces? Also, what are your favorite speaker cables to use in your system?

cabling is essential

I have never been able to get sound out of my speakers without speaker wire

Home made cables from PC-OCC for a few bucks a foot will save you hundreds of dollars. Wrap them in silk tape and tell your mates they cost a fortune.

You’ll know it when you hear it. Right now I’m amazed at how some Zu Event speaker cables are measuring up in my system. Not touted as much around these parts as other big name brands but that’s perfectly fine with me.

All the best,
