Dunno there

( thats why god created suckers )
Things like the advertising waffle for the
http://www.audionote.co.jp/en/produc...er/ongaku.html
make you wonder at times ( and its only $100K or so )
ie transformers wound by virgin elves using pure silver wire to reduce vibrations
and "genuine" WesternElectric 300B valves, etc etc
Its a bit like Meades over enthsiastic advertising at times
ie sales dept knows best.
Again, its all down to a system design, and most modern consumer stuff is designed to put out "acceptable" sound no matter how its connected.
I note Barry stated
"The practicality of speaker wire size is irrelevant for most people."
and in that respect, i have to agree with him
( but i do use monster cables to my home built 3 ways

,
which do sound rather nice )
