Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I believe your suppliers are correct

The rest is mumbo jumbo and gives audiokooks with OCD something to do.

Hook the things up and quit fiddling with them. They may become very subtly directional after they've been installed for a while. This property will reverse itself after some playing in the other direction. Every time you swap orientation, it will sound different for a while, then revert.

Directional arrows on the jackets of commercial wire are important for IC's which may have a telescoping ground connection (shield connected at one end, not the other). On speaker wire, it means nothing other than the manufacturer is having a little joke on you.
