Indeed; but then so is pretty well any design of cable. That's the problem
with this discussion - throw in *very* long runs and you might hear or
measure a difference. But then no one with any sense has very long low
impedance speaker cable runs.

Certainly preferable to long runs of high impedance cable. If we
ignore coax and stick to standard twin, a low impedance speaker cable
will tend to have a lot of copper in it to achieve the high
capacitance and low inductance necessary for a low impedance. That
makes it better suited to long runs.

Also, being much closer to the impedance of a speaker it will have a
much flatter frequency response than a high impedance cable, which
will tend to wander away from flat at the top end.
