**Stewart has already covered his arse, by stating the frequency response
AT THE SPEAKER TERMINALS must be within 0.1dB. Stewart knows full well
that it is very easy to expose easily audible differences between speaker
cables. After level matching, that task becomes well nigh impossible.

He is quite right. You are testing for a difference in cables, not sound
level, so that has to be taken out of the equation. The level matching
also makes sure that the speakers are starting from the same common base
line. He has only fixed 2 frequency points to match, not the full response
curve and not via a mic, so there is plenty of room for exotic cables to
prove themselves - if they can.

**You miss the point. That is EXACTLY how (most) exotic speaker cables DO
sound different.
