I read up on using ferrite beads on speaker wires a while back and there's definite arguments both ways. The main reason to use them is to reduce rf noise getting to the speakers. The argument against using them is the rf won't get reproduced by the drivers anyways so it really only adds inductance. I'm by no means an expert on ferrite beads, especially on speaker wires. Any experts out there care to chime in?
