Very good artocle, however it helps to be in the cable business since 1996. Having doen a LOT of simulations and measurements, I can tell you that interconnects do matter a lot. The revelant parameters are not losses or inductance though. These are capacitance, skin-effect and crystal lattice symmetry. All of these are related to electric field, which is mostly what you have in interconnects. In speaker cables you have inductance being the most important because of strong magnetic fields.
Looking at this loss and that loss is not very interesting IMO. It it the non-linear effects across amplitude and frequency that are more important.
I do agree that passive crossovers are up there with the main things that need improvement, however the best way to go about that is up for debate. If one gets passive crossover
components closer to the ideal texbook in performance, it can be evry bit as good as bi or tri-amping.
