I'm not sold on the necessity of heavy cables for speakers. The largest
resistance on the speaker system isn't the cables but the speaker voice
coil. A typical 8 ohm radio speaker will have a voice coil resistance of
about 6 ohms. Even thin wires will have much smaller resistances in the
milliohm range. I really can't imagine how going from cables with milliohms
resistances to microohm resistance will make a difference in a circuit which
a resistance of a few ohms.


It dosen't, but the audiophools can't grasp that so they throw big bucks
away on speaker cables with fancy names and tons of hype about performance.
