Stranded wire has benifits in carrying DC farther with less voltage drop then solid core.
A/C overcomes these problems, thats why we use it in the power "grid"-A/C can travel hundreds of miles on thin cable.
A D/C grid would need a "booster" power plant every couple of blocks and need huge cables.
Stranded wire can carry much more current then the same diameter solid wire due having a much larger surface area.
Is this needed for speakers? No.
Example: feeding a car amp with 12DC needs a fat stranded cable. Flexibility is a nice side effect.
Look at it this way, the 14awg solid core wire in your house can deliver 3600watts for hundreds of feet without breaking a sweat, there is no reason to think you "need" stranded wire for your speakers.
Also note that ALL of the power for your amp runs through a very thin solid strand in your fuse with no problems.
If one sounds better then the other to you, go for it.
