Yes


Which speaker cables offer the best sound?

More than anything, I would recommend against overpaying for speaker cables. For a while, Everest offered the Audioquest speaker cable. It cost $21,000 for 3m of cable, and even the most trained ears couldn't tell the difference between the speakers hooked up with the Audioquest cable, and just run of the mill cables reliably. A lot of cables are like this, they have a huge price tag because they know somebody will be stupid enough to buy it regardless. If you really want to splurge, go for a cable with gold coated connectors since they do offer greater conductivity, but there really won't be much if any noticeable difference. My 2 cents.
