Bill..14 awg is just fine for 15 foot lengths. I use 16 gauge for the same length. I know of others that use 24 awg. The sound you get at the end really depends on how well your amplifier handles the load. Some like heavier gauges..it's more of a preference than wrong or right.
I find the smaller solid core gauges to have a much cleaner tighter sound over the the larger stranded gauges. Which too my ears roll off the highs and make the music sound fat and indistinct.
