home depot thermostat wire

I've been using the above, 2 lead 18 gauge solid core, and thought it an improvement over my previous Silversonic cables. Recently I changed to 4 lead thermostat wire, two leads positive, and two negative, and the improvement in detail, presence, etc. was remarkable. Does that mean that the earlier two lead stuff was starving the speakers? I would have thought that 18 gauge solid core would be sufficient for my easy load Spendors. Or does it mean that non audiophile grade copper has an effect and if so should I expect even better performance from proper, dedicated speaker wire? Very confused!
