The networks I use are meant to load the cables, so I place them at the ends of the cables. Placing them inside the speakers would place the impedance mismatch of the binding posts between them and the cables. This might reduce their effectiveness in damping electrical resonances of the cables themselves.If the purpose of the networks is to damp the speaker drivers or fix the crossovers (as Zoebels), then the better place for them would be inside the speakers. However, they would still work as Zoebels at the ends of the cables, as the impedances of the binding posts would be less important at the 50 KHz range.
Such a network could do double-duty, as both a dynamic load for the cable, and as a Zoebel for the speaker, as long as the capacitor still acted as a capacitor at the GHz frequency range. If you try this, you might want to bypass your favorite audio-band capacitor with some sort of silver-mica type.
Please let us know the results if you try something like this.
Sorry, no experience with "Pig Tails." It is hard to imagine how something connected to the positive terminal only could help matters. My experience is that the dielectric materials involved in anything attached to speaker terminals affect the sound, but usually for the worse. Do these people work with the Golden Sound folks?
