No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

So now what....
Myself being a mechanical engineer, I mostly have no clue what you guys, being talented electrical engineers, are talking about. However, fortunately or unfortunately, as the debate -even amongst the most talented electrical engineers- continues, I will have to try out cables, and let my ears decide which ones I like the most. I will have no technical explanation on why a certain cable sounds better to my opinion...but for me, I'm fine with that. That's also what I like about this hobby, there is no clear 1+1=2 solution. I would not even like that...

Mr.  glupson

In a market that is loaded with schemes, awkward tells of directional wires, skin effect and many more, cables that goes for thousands and tens of thousands of dollars, you really think that giving away this formula is a brilliant idea, to satisfy your personal need to know?

Did you ask for the formula from other sources, that are in the industry and tell those awkward tells of directional wires, skin effect and many more?

Most, had buy the story (with the cable) without the formula! Because there is no formula for those tells. The only formula they have is marketing and cash flow.

Would you use the same method when you are driving your car to an unfamiliar place? Just drive and drive without any particular direction, till you find it (or not). Willing to pay the money and time?
Well, most would just use a GPS NAV device, enter detonation and pick the fastest or shortest way to get there. That's seems to make more sense to me, than just driving without directions.

As with GPS NAV, with a formula and science, you can get the right and optimal cable on your first attempt. It will save you the time and money chasing that till end of times.

Because even if you are there (not knowing) you may continue the journey to find a better one, that do not exist.

Good luck and enjoy, your blind folded search.

I hope that when it will get to a cure for a disease, you will find more effectives ways to get it. It may also be an eye opener for other things in life, you try to solve.

You seem to misunderstand my point, all I'm saying here is that even amongst you guys -I do not doubt the intelligence of any of you in this discussion, in fact I'm often impressed- there is a disagreement, so for somebody like me it will be difficult to come to a simple conclusion.
So if I would be using a GPS NAV, whilst obviously it would not be clear in giving me directions how to find the best route, I may switch it off, and find my way the old fashioned way. Don't worry, I have done that for over 40 years or so, and it is not impossible. Currently I do not know if I have the best possible system at home, or may be that I have paid too much for that, I'm fine with that too. I have the satisfaction I'm looking for, so I'm okay.

Mr.  han_n
I can help you. Please tell me what amp. and speakers you have, what is the required length of the speaker cables to connect them, and what is the cable (gauge) you are using now.
I'll do that calculation for you.
