Soeaker cables technologic dilema…


We have two technological solutions when it comes to speaker cable: 
 
1. Four wires (2 on + and 2 on -), twisted in a star quad, in a screened braid and in one collective insulation.

2. Second solution: two SEPARATE double-wire cables, one for + and one for -, but without shield. 


The number of cores, core cross-section, material, weave, both in NES-3003-G and NES-3005-G everything is the same. 
 
In the first solution we have a screen, and in the second solution we have a separation of plus and minus. 
 
How will it be better? What to expect?

A shielded speaker cable? I've never seen such a thing in a home installation. To what would the shield be grounded?

Can be grounded, can be left unconnected. 
many top-level speaker cables uses some kind of shielding. 

Can be grounded, can be left unconnected. 

To what would you ground a speaker cable? What would be the purpose of an unterminated  shielded cable?

Oh? Examples, please.

Sorry but I started this thread not to educate about shielding. 
But to give you a clue shielded cables makes for example Synergistic Research, 
If you have something interesting to say in main topic, please do so.

You mentioned shielded speaker cables, so it seems reasonable to ask: To what is the shield connected? What would be the advantage of an unconnected shield?

... to give you a clue shielded cables makes for example Synergistic Research ...

Hmmm, I see that its Galileo Discovery cable states:

Shielding: Silver Braid -Quantum Tunneled Ground Plane Technology

It isn't clear just what that is or where the shield would be attached, so I can't answer your question of  "what to expect" from its use. Perhaps others here will be able to assist you.
