Accepting that decent speaker cables used under normal conditions cannot have a sonic signature, what kinds of cables under what conditions can have a sonic signature? I can think of the following:
1) If speaker cable resistance is not low enough, power output can be reduced and frequency response may be shaped by speaker impedance.
2) If speaker wire capacitance is too high, some less-common amplifier designs can react adversely, adding distortion and, possibly, damaging the amplifier.
What is the sonic signature in such cases? Anecdotal observations are requested.
