... sees the role of speaker wire as a service, not as a contributor. It should transmit the signal to the speaker without altering the timbre of the sound or limit the output of the amplifier. The best solution would be no wire. My simple mind also sees two signals, left and right. Why then would I need more than two wires? I know the OP's question circled technical issues, but my ears are the only guage that matters to me.If the wires are of sufficient guage to not limit the amps output, then the only other issue worth examining is the quality of the sound. I have sampled a variety of speaker cables, and many of them leave me with the impression that this one sounds warm, this one sounds bright, and so on. The only ones that interest me are those that to me, sound neutral and natural. Any cable that doesn't sound neutral seems like a tone control, and I don't want it at any price level. I expect that speaker cable will release the intended sound of the speaker, not alter it.
I have found that solid core cable has gotten me there, and at very low cost. I have not preferred stranded appoaches based on listening tests. Solid core simply sounds more clear, more neutral, and with great presentation. I have the luxury of not caring about the way it looks or how it has to be run. Solid core wire is a little less managable than stranded. Oh well.
