I`m glad none of you are my docktor. Something between scaring and sad to see the answers given, but with one exeption, Carlsbad:

generally yes. Large wire size is required for the high current that flows for small fractions of a second during dynamic changes or big bass notes. a mellow song will sound the same with both but, just like in power cables, there are dynamic times when higher current flows, even if just for a picosecond. The simplistic calculations like others are doing in this thread are wrong. It is the google level of understanding physics. I have a physics degree from UofC. "
This is the thruth. He only needs to add that current flows much like water, there will be a big difference between one big conductor versus many tiny ones. Meaning solid core, fun begins at 9awg.
I sometimes wonder if someone in this dirty industry knows about this. Mybe, but they will off course keep their mouth shut, there is no money in this.
