Wish old Al was around to give you his view on wire gauge and sonics. (Hell, I just wish our beloved Al was still around, period. I really miss that wonderful guy......)
Anyway, Al was of the decided opinion that 14 gauge was the BEST wire for over-all sonics and natural balance. He based this on extensive testing by a friend who owned a well-respected wire and accessory company, "Highwire Audio". You can find this in the archives here in the Tweaker's Asylum. Of course, YMMV!
I, too, found 14 gauge wires to sound very, very good (that was what my old Carol Cable DIY AC cord design was based around.) That doesn't mean they are the "best', but I never found any inherent fault with that gauge wire.
I have no idea what gauge wire MSA will ultimately use in their cords. It may be metric based (i.e., 1.5mm2 or 2.5mm2, etc.)
However, I suspect MSA will try and accommodate you, should you not desire a 14 gauge wire.
