speaker connectors and eddy currents ????

Posted by TGT on April 3, 2007 at 16:56:17:
Please explain this quote from Stereophile:
"Second, in upgrading the 2Ce to Signature status a while back, Vandersteen dispensed with the usual oversized speaker connectors, for their susceptibility to skin effects and eddy currents"
How do the connectors produce "eddy currents" and how does Vandersteen know this affects the sound?
