The practicality of speaker wire size is irrelevant for most people. The current amplifiers have low impedance outputs into low impedance speakers so the transfer of power is governed by I x I x R . All this means that the power from the amplifier will be divided between the speaker and the feed line in the ratio of R/R. This may be important if you have a 1000 watt amplifier but will not be noticed by most users. The lower the R (larger the wire size) of the speaker cable the more power will be delivered to the speaker.
So if you follow what White Rabbit says you can't go wrong.

sorry barry for picking up on your remarks as yours was one of many,.... hmm unusual views!
let me say firstly that in our mate leons case it matters not so much on the thickness or cable used, however the hypocrisy of vilifying the views of hi fi nuts from astro nuts.... well i am both!
would you sell a 13mm ethos because the view of a meade plossl 32mm (sorry i have not done the maths, but i hope you see the analogy!) gave the same field?
in the 1980's i spent more than my weeks wages on some "monster cable" for my "modest system"
our ears are so much like our eyes ha ha!, anyhow that money was so well spent as i know the difference to my ears was astronomic and well worth the money
the difference, if anybody is interested was the top end of my loud speakers were much sharper and less brittle and the bottom end was so much tighter........... the musical experience for me was heightened exponentially, very similar emotionally to my first ethos!
