Just wondering about speaker cables

The only things in audiophoolery you need to be concerned about is something blowing up/causing a fire. 

Other than those 2 concerns do what your ears think is "better." 

I am doing just that.
I have solid pure .9999 silver wire of various gauges that each gauge is in individually oversized teflon tubing and I also have copper foil. Both are connected to one set of amp/speaker terminals.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Me too ozzy, I’m using the binding post and bananas. Helix, Weaves, Ribbons and single solid core alloys in oversize silicone tubes. Makes it easy to add or subtract. Interesting way, I like it.. It’s down right personal. LOL

I’ve been using a box I made from some hardwood scraps. 12x3x4 with silver and copper turrets on a thick turret board. It slides in and out for access to either side. I’ve been adding and subtracting very short runs of different materials in the path. VERY interesting.. and easy to change constructs.. I call it "Harp"... I’ve been using it for the monitor section of my speakers.

I suppose it would be easy enough to use it for the bass section too.

I wouldn’t. I direct couple amp to driver (no passive) and use an external XO. It seems to work best, that way..
Better cone control.

OK, so this is how it went last night.
One pair of DH Labs Q-10 with banana plugs on both ends.
One pair of Silversmith Fidelium ribbons under the post on both ends.
Pass Labs X250.8 to Martin Logan 13a.
Started off low and slow but it sounds good so far. Cranked to my normal listening volume. WOW, nice tight base and the high end was still crisp. Loving it so far and the amp did not take on any extra strain that I could detect. The temp was normal and the needle never moved as usual.

Loving it so far, will keep you posted.

Maybe 3 sets of cables twisted together would be even better?

i just use components that have skinnier, olympics-ready electrons - its an off menu item if you get to know the owners of high end equipment makers

getting older now, don’t like to double up anything, want things light and compact
