RE: What is the perfect amount of resistance, inductance, and capacitance

Zero of any of the properties like resistance, inductance and capacitance is not physically possible.

It is possible to make a short loudspeaker cable's properties so small that the effect they have isn't detectable by measurement of the loudspeaker or blind testing (listening without knowledge of which was which) .
One can do a null test and "hear" the difference between one end and the other, a difference produced by the series R, L and parallel C in the cable.

BUT hardware store extension cords turned into speaker cables have more inductance than most speaker cables (larger spacing between conductors) and may be endowed with thick insulation instead of copper.

Not glamorous but this stuff (low loss, flexible modern RG-8 coax) works really well for speaker cable, something like #9 or #10 conductor. Very low R, L and C per foot.
