Most speakers of that era used thin stock wiring, safeharbor. So replacing them with 16 gauge lowers the impedance; thus your amp doesn't have to work as hard. You'll get a more open sound @ lower volume settings. Did that for a pair of Realistic MC 1000s recently, & the recipient just loves 'em, powered by a Realistic 850 receiver. Before that, as KVMR's community volunteer coordinator, she had to rely on telephone audio patch to monitor the station's signal. She's gotten quite a few compliments on her vintage system's mellow audio quality.
