Totally agree with shushu and splendor, speaker cables really act as "equalizers" it's a matter of preference.

The most expensive definitively are not worth the unsane price at which they are selled.
I did accepted once to buy a pair of modulation cable for roughly 120 US dollars because I felt it could help me to aliviate the tonal colouration of my system (with ls3/5a as speakers) in the treble. It was a modulation cable Qed Qunex 3, quite useful in my case.

Treating a room could be another "idea" (aside from cables) to correct some apparent misgivings an audiophile will detect in a system. It's now apparent that we should not view such (cables and what have you) as the be-all and end-all to good sound.
So when it comes to good sound per se, every other system has some good potential in them. A real audiophile will use real music to gauge such, and do his "fine tuning" as he sees it -- cables and all. Are we not back to square one?

I generally use to treat more the ls3/5a than the room. ;D
For example, I already spoke of my tissue-papers tweaks for the direct sound.
For the reflected sound, I could have said something also about the small panels I may put on the sides and top of the boxes to stop a bit the radiated sound (or course,some length has to stick out of the front edges).
The problem is to absorb the bass (complicated) as well as the high-medium and treble (easy). However, there are a lot of possibilities.
The good with this kind of method is that closer to the speakers, smaller the amount of material necessary. That's why I am speaking of "ls3/5a treatment".
The drawback is that it is not aesthetic. But as long as it works.........
