Yep. I like the amp terminal idea.
Just run 2-pair unshielded to the plate amp.
Might even be a good DIY experiment... use a couple of pairs out of a CAT5e or CAT6 cable. I would just use dual banana jacks for the main speakers then pop another pair of banna-jacks into the back of them.
Some audiophiles might insist that you need to use the *exact same* speaker cable as they suggest when bi-wiring or bi-amping.
And this will drive them patently nuts! ;)
Cheers,
Presto

There is no need to use the exact same speaker cable for a high-level interface, since the current draw is miniscule in comparison. However, if the same quality of cable with a similar design concept is selected, it might be of help to provide a more homogeneous integration with the main loudspeakers vs. a cable that presents a very different type of sonic signature. In this case, a similar "house sound" might be advantageous, but experimentation should be a worthy effort to explore in order to find out how cable sensitive the interface might be, and if one type of cable or another simply performs better according to a particular listener's system configuration and/or taste.
I don't know if you've ever listened to a subwoofer without the main speakers playing, but there isn't any sonic signature to be found. All you hear is thump, thump, thump. If you hear anything intelligible, your sub is doing way more than it's supposed to be doing. In other words, I seriously doubt you will be able to hear a difference between different types of wire using a subwoofer to make the comparison.
Good luck,
