I actually have RC filters on both ends of my Zu Ibis speaker cables. I made them using cascaded silver mica caps and TX2575 metal foil resistors, shielded with TI-Shield in a potted ABS box. I selected the resistor value to exactly match the characteristic impedance of the speaker cables for best RF transfer. The effect they have is very noticable; the sound is clearer, smoother, and more detailed with them in place.
Here is a thread where I describe their construction (with pictures):

There is one other ground path in the system, namely through the TV coax cable, which has a ferrite clamp right at the cable box, which is plugged into the same Power Plant as the stereo.
