Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables

I appreciate all the input. But please stick to my ask and talk about solid core design

Looking into the Acoustic Revive Range of Speaker Cables using PC Triple C Wire is well worth taking the time to do so.

There are Speaker Cables with Solid Wire in both 0.9mm and 1.1mm.

I use the 0.9mm and all other used Speaker Cables are Superseded b this one.

I would really like to the trial the 1.1mm on my collection of owned Speakers, to see why it is their most highly rated and if 1.1mm is able the be a betterment as a  synergy.

Second, when I said "solid core" I had a very narrow definition in my mind. Max. 2 strands in a twisted pair (or star-quad) configuration or very similar minimalistic approaches. The mentioned Kimber 8PR definitely does not meet that standard (even though interesting concept). 

Probably fine for Home Theater sound, not so much for audiophile 2 channel stereo, IMO.

This is a quote for Morrow Audio speaker cables. It pretty much mirrors other audiophile manufacturer’s speaker cable designs.

No doubt Morrow is well out of your price range though. But you’ll get the idea...

The Morrow Audio Design: 
Morrow Audio signal cables use ONLY solid core OFC (oxygen free copper) wire, NEVER stranded.  Morrow claims using this solid core wire eliminates all stranded wire distortion effects allowing you to hear much more information that was lost from the smearing effect that stranded wire produces.

2.  Many Other Cables Use Large Gauge Wire:
Different frequencies tend to ride at various depths in the wire structure; the highs, mids, and lows tend to separate which causes time and phase errors in the signal. This is commonly known as the “skin effect”. When large gauge wire is used, this problem is even greater, resulting in phase and timing errors. The soundstage is reduced and instrumental timbre is distorted.

The Morrow Audio Design:  Morrow Audio signal cables are made with only small gauge wire. The different frequencies ride at the same plane in the wire, resulting in less phase and timing errors. Morrow Audio claims this produces more accurate sound, a larger soundstage and accurate instrumental timber.

I agree with small gauge wire! 

From the picture in the link it looks that one channel is twisted and hence the whole construction might just be star quad (which I like on paper). Question is really what "small awg" really means? Audioquest Type 4 seems on the larger side with 2x17awg and 2x20awg. 

As my speakers have 99db or more efficiency I definitely dont need thick wires. I am thinking 2x18awg and 2x20awg at the max or even 4x20awg. I know not typical orthodoxy but Acoustic Revive and Morrow (and DNM) seem on similar path..

Combined Wire Gauge Calculator

4x20awg?

Is that 4x20awg for the Pos and 4X20awg for the neg? Or 2x20awg for the pos and 2x20awg for neg?

4x20awg _  effective gauge 14awg

2x20awg =  effective gauge 17awg (slightly larger than 18awg) Too small, IMO...
