Hello,

You ask : " Is average wire gauge critical for single ended amps and high efficiency speakers? "

Yes, it most certainly is !!!

The requirements for a speaker level lead's AWG are totally different than that of an interconnect.

Currents, PEAK INSTANTANEOUS currents are much higher to the speaker.

Wire need not be garden sized, or break-the -bank in cost, but it must be done thoughtfully in the SE world, where the demands on efficient energy transmission are greater, losses are more noticeable.

PM me privately and I will be glad to give you some wire and AWG suggestions to try out that work well on SE / HE audio systems, using surplus Mil Spec wire, etc. One gauge does NOT fit all.
