Sorry if this has been discussed before, not an easy thing to search for as results are mostly for external wires.
Wouldn't the quality and size of the internal wiring be important to the overall sound? (That is assuming that speaker wire actually makes a difference, which is up for debate).
Spending money on fancy wires seems like a waste of time if the limiting factor is the internal speaker wire. If you have 2 gauge fire hoses between the amp and the speaker but only 16 gauge internal wiring wouldn't that be the weak link?
The general rule seems to be that longer runs should use thicker wire, but the internal wire is still just an extension of the external wire. Binding posts and the internal wire are really the same thing as having a thick cable spliced into a thin cable 2' from your speaker, right? So is there any point to using thick cables?
