A small story on speaker cables, for your experiment if you like. I once had a mid-priced speaker cable that was a bit too long and lying around on the floor. Hence, I coiled it up behind the speaker to tidy the room (just a few turns). A few hours later a friend came by and immediately raised his eyebrows and asked what I had done to the sound, he claimed it sounded much thinner (i.e. a true blind-test).
I would be surprised if the designer did that, and I think one doesn't get a CE certification if kit radiates interference.
A coil of cable adds inductance, so changing the electrical characteristics of the cable. It has been advised against for decades.
