Trying to keep it simple.
In addition to ohms law and all the other stuff audiophiles are supposed to know about I would like to submit that the placebo effect is very important.
I just got some eBay cheapo China speaker spikes for the bases of my Celestion 300s because I like their geekiness and thought they'd look boss. They do! I think the speakers sound better. Who cares if I an wrong? Not me!
My wife grew up with a couple of friends kids next door. The parents there made a label to go on a jar of cold cream but the label said "Placebo Cream". Anytime one of the neighbor kids fell down or bumped into something out came the Placebo Cream. It became something of a 3rd world clinic operation where kids came from all around for the miracle cure. The net result is that the neighbor kids believed they felt better and did.
If it sounds better, I guess it does. I am not kidding, the Celestions sound better to me.
