Yes but however trivial it is a waste of money if there is no audible gain.
I hear no difference between adequate gauge speaker cables, personally. The cables I used between my Goldmund amps and speakers were Goldmund with their own high contact area choice of non standard connector. When I demo-ed the D-Premier I evaluated it using some inexpensive speaker cable I had in a drawer and when I bought one I got some correct lengths of speaker cable with banana plugs from e-bay for under £20.
I have never felt that the SQ has suffered. Now I have updated to an 800 I am still using these cables when using the Epilogs.
You owe it to yourself to try better cables!
