As the OP, I wanted to see if many were interested in how high-end cable measures, most here are not concerned with it and let their ears be the judge. I believe this is the way it should be.
We are in a hobby where everyone defines good differently, we have different equipment, and listening preferences so how would any set of measurements be meaningful.
For Mr. @b4icu or anyone else to come on and push a standard on how everyone should choose a speaker cable is absurd. I've seen people preferring 28 gauge magnet wires as speaker cables....so the thicker gauge cable that Mr. b4icu recommends will also have their supporter and some will find their sound appealing, but the majority will fall somewhere in between 0 and 28 gauge. My point is, there is no standard for this stuff, it's whatever sounds good to the listener.
For those who have NEVER heard a difference in speaker cables including Mr. @lostinseattle, run two 28awg insulated magnet wire to each speaker (one for positive, one for negative) and see if you can hear a difference compared to your existing cables, it's a very cheap experiment that will let you experience something you never have before. Let me know once you have tried it.
