RE: what quality in a speaker wire work well with Maggies? I am using a ss amp and have SMGa

In the case of tympani bass panels it is wooly bass and a lack of dynamic slam when using thin wire. Going from 12 gauge to 8 gauge was very obvious. It was much more obvious at -20db on CD = 90db spl than at 80dbspl

At the top end a thin gauge wire would tend to get you a less rolled off sound and more bright.

I avoid naked stranded copper and in particular in PVC since they age gracelessly and lose detail and dynamics over time, supposedly because of the semiconductor properties of copper oxides, particularly when doped with chlorine from the PVC, which is not a good dielectric, which combines with the multipath distortion. When using stranded wire I use silver plated.
