Please indicate a source of twisted pair wire suitable for speaker feeds. #16 or #14 is fine for me. I am still having trouble keeping my 15m signals out of my family room system. Currently that room's speaker wire is of the parallel kind.
It's commonly used by sound system professionals, including sound contractors who install permanent systems. Belden and West Penn both make stranded twisted pair in the range of #10 to #26. Excessive wire resistance degrades bass transient response (makes it "flabby), so if you (or your neighbor) is picky, big copper is the weapon of choice. Contrary to the high futility mystique pumped out by guys selling snake oil, nothing is better than P.O.C. (plain, ordinary copper).
