"...It’s hilarious, frankly. They actually sell expensive little devices designed to lift your speaker wires off the floor to prevent acoustic frequency interference with the signal on the wires. And some of those nitwits there swear by this kind of crap......"

Funny, isn't it...?

Whenever I need speaker wire I go Home Depot or an electrical parts counter and buy #12 or #14 awg lamp cord by the foot. If the capacitance of such wire manages to roll off frequencies above 18K by 1 dB....I really don't give a damn.

I’m even more of a cheapskate. I get my speaker wire at garage sales and estate sales. People will sell a whole box of the stuff for $1. And if you’ve had to go to radio shack, et al to get speaker wire, you understand.

I now have a box crammed with speaker wire with some over 100’ long. Some of it is agw22 but most is 16 or thicker. I probably have all the speaker wire I’ll ever need, but still, when I see a bunch for a buck or a quarter, I have to buy it.
