Low resistance for the length required is the only property of wire that matters for audio signals of 20hz to 20khz. An exception is the voice coils of dynamic speakers - miles of very fine gauge enameled wire are used!
Something Else I'm Wondering About
I don't know why, but only recently have I noticed, and am now questioning, why the internal wiring of speakers is usually a much smaller gauge than the cables we hook them up with. If a larger gauge wire is "better" for hooking them up to the amp/receiver, etc..., then why not use a similar gauge wire in the very speaker itself? Also, does this mean that we need not use the larger, more expensive gauges if what we are seeking is better/optimal sound? Will a smaller/cheaper gauge wire yield the same results?
Thanks for your feedback.
