Western Electric old stock 10awg wire, the same as used by Triode Wire Labs.
Two 10awg connectors per pole, with a star-quad, cross-connected geometry and the two 10awg ground connectors spiraled in the opposite direction to the four wire twist.
No shield since these are for monoblocks that will be connected directly to two 20A dedicated lines.
Furutech FI-11 (Cu) connectors.
They are now both on the cable cooker but they sounded great without conditioning. I simply cook all the cables I make to take the guesswork out of whether they will sound different when broken-in.
I have had great luck with these wires. I have a bunch and good thing because it is becoming harder to obtain. I am using two twisted pairs per speaker of the 10awg wire in a bi-wired configuration, so 7awg per speaker. I plan to try doubling up for an aggregate of 4awg per speaker but that is very likely overkill since they are only 1M long and running from mono-blocks sitting right next to the speakers. The sound of this wire is very organic with excellent body, particularly in the midrange. The bass is also a strong suit being textured, well-defined and powerful, without being overblown. Another strength is that the wire sounds very coherent overall. The low wattage crowd loves the 16awg variety as speaker cables. With my big amps and power-hungery Aerials, I like the 10awg wire best, but have tried the others too and they do sound nice.
Not too sure about the new Techflex that has natural and synthetic fibers. I bought it to use as a spacer to get the braid shield away from the conductors in some ICs that I make. I thought I would try it for these PCs. Maybe I will grow to like it. Not a big deal since nobody will probably notice them sitting behind the amps.
