RE: Cable terminations

Maybe we are not communicating, You made the comment that there was a direction to wire and they sound differently connected one way vs the other.

Other than what i described earlier, I don't see a way to have a speaker wire "change" the audio signal in a directional way that one can hear the result in a speaker, and I asked because wanted to see if there was something to it.

Outside of many hits in the "hifi" area i could not find any engineering references to this directional effect in a quick search and had never heard of that working with instrumentation, measurement and RF.
At the same time, it seems unlikely to be an otherwise unmeasured electrical phenomena, unique to home audio conditions and power levels.

So far as half of the signal traveling on each wire, have you ever used an oscilloscope? Think a battery, a light bulb and a pair of wires. Nothing happens until you have a complete circuit where the current flows in equal magnitude in both wires through the light bulb.

Dynamic speakers, woofers etc are a DC motor, the driver BL is how many Newtons of force the Voice coil produces per Amp of current in it, the signal is like the battery is constantly reversing and changing magnitude.

So it kind of has to be one of these two;

So does this audible wire directional effect change the electrical signal going to the speaker in any way?

Or does it make the audible change to the speaker's sound without changing the electrical signal?
