No - if the cable is of sufficient cross sectional area for the length and material - there will be nothing to hear.

Well I couldn't hear any difference, but made new speaker cables from un-tinned wire just in case! Couldn't help it, I guess! I'm not in a situation where corrosion might be more of a problem. My new cables were a bit longer so there was no way to compare the sound. The other reason I made new cables is because I needed longer cables.
