However, for current carrying capacity, you need thick wire. Hence you need multiple (insulated) strands of thin, solid-core wire to give you the required copper cross-section.
1 jacket of teflon-insulated Cat5 wire (eg. Belden 1585a) per binding post makes a terrific speaker cable, IMO. Better still is to continue to use 2 jackets per speaker but use 2 pairs from each jacket for '+ve' and 2 pairs from each jacket for '-ve' - this is higher 'C' but lower 'L'.
Better still is to use all 8 solid-colour wires for '+ve' and all 8 striped wires for '-ve' - this has even lower 'L' ... but has even higher C! :-(( So, depending on the length of the cables, this may make your amplifier uncomfortable. :-))
