..My speakers are 101 db and present a benigne load ( but at 4 ohm)..even then I would not expect high current to pass..( max output it 3,5 watts anyway.) nothing will get hot at 16 ohm and 100db+..well your ears maybe ;-) currents are rather marginal..from a practical point 30 gauge may be a little thin..(and scores low on macho factor)
runs are only 2 meters each..
any effect would be minimal..thinner is better (at least from what I have heard).. I use Ubyte-2 coax X cables by the way
now a 10 kw PA system with 100ft of cable is a totally different game... I think the AES papers are more geared toward those situtations
