If you cut up a coat hanger and use it to connect your power amplifier to your speakers it'd work, though there are no doubt better choices we could make.
I like to think of the various means of connecting and building audio equipment as design choices: use an IC op amp or use a discrete version? Feedback to lower distortion or common mode rejection? Tubes vs. transistors?
All these choices get us to the same goal of amplifying the signal but with very different results.
Many HiFi Family members I speak with are bewildered by the myriad of choices available in today's plethora of products. Regenerators or conditioners? Vinyl or digital? Streaming or discs? Planars or domes?
One helpful hint is to suss out the companies whose philosophies mirror your own. Just as you wouldn't be surprised if a McDonald's fry cook had trouble producing a Michelin star meal, it'd hardly be surprising that an audio company more interested in home theater than high-end two channel audio might not be the best choice for you.
At the end of the day, companies that care put their names, hearts, and souls on their products. They make design choices that reflect those values.
It's a good idea to get to know the folks behind the curtain.
