" the cable is a 10-guage twisted pair from a reputable mainstream cable manufacturer".
If the speaker cable is as listed in your profile then it has a network box. Components inside are unknown, but could it be that it is this that your amplifier doesn't like?
NB: If I am right then it would only be fair to identify the cable as otherwise you are asking for advice without letting the people who are trying to help you know about what is a significant departure from a simple twisted pair.
