I suggest that you refer that question to audiophile groups, where art
reigns over science.
The effect of increasing speaker cable capacitance from a few tens of pF
to a few hundreds, with an extremely low source and load impedance, is
going to be infinitessimal.
Hence the need to go to audio groups where you will find people willing
to pay a hundred quid for a speaker cable, because they believe it works
better than a ten quid one..
Your problem isn't to do with induction, but intuition..
