Some interesting observations:
From: http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#oxygenfree
"...So what do our fifty hours of testing, scoring and listening to
speaker cables amount to? Only that 16-gauge lamp cord and Monster cable
are indistinguishable from each other with music and seem to be superior
to the 24 gauge wire commonly sold or given away as 'speaker cable.'
Remember, however, that it was a measurable characteristic--higher
resistance per foot--that made 24 gauge sound different from the other
cables. If the cable runs were only 6 instead of 30 feet, the overall
cable resistances would have been lower and our tests would probably
have found no audible differences between the three cables. This project
was unable to validate the sonic benefits claimed for exotic speaker
cables over common 16-gauge zip cord. We can only conclude, therefore,
that there is little advantage besides pride of owner****p in using these
thick, expensive wires"
