Speaker cable length, should IMO, be kept to a minimum. The measureables of inductance, resistance and capacitance increase with length. In the ODD case of amp / speaker sensitivity to this, a highly reactive speaker cable COULD push you 'over the edge'.
Gauge of wire should be adjusted for POWER max, speaker sensitivity AND length of run.
All other things being equal which they apparently are NOT, short runs in a low power system of medium to high speaker sensitivity could probably make due with16ga.
My low sensitivity panels at 10 foot runs per side and my old 500 watt 'd' amp required beefier wires.
My Biamp system currently has 2x3' runs PER SPEAKER with the line level cable of about 8 feet per side.
I don't know if it's a settled issue if you want long speaker wires / short interconnects OR short speaker wires with Longer interconnects.
Too much is never enough
