The basic tenet of all this bi-wiring stuff, fancy cables and all the rest

Indeed, and I agree. However, there is science to suggest that the
effect does happen, but as you say, to what extent, and is it worth
consideration?

What you should consider is *what effect* rather than simply accept what
advertisers tell you to believe.

Since a length of cable and a louspeaker load form a complex electrical filter to
a small degree, it's inevitable that changing the cable will 'sound different' if
only because the frequency response will differ slightly. That much is assured
although the extend to which it's audible could be debated at some length.

There is additionaly a huge amout of self-deception over what is or isn't audible
no doubt based on these well-distributed myths that the hi-fi fraternity would
have you buy into ( quite literally).
