He has found some measurable differences between cables, but nothing that has any effect on what we hear. Well, with some exceptions where there was actually degredation with some of the more expensive ones!
Ask Dave what wire he uses INSIDE his speakers. I've not read one thing about it on the Ascend site, so I'm gonna venture Dave's gonna say he's in the "doesnt make much difference" camp. And I would agree.
Keep resistance as low as possible, length as short as possible, (and keep the LRC wire lengths the same)
But i would not go as hi as 10 gauge....you start to add inductance. Note that some hi end wire is not hi strand, like Kimber...so thats just one datapoint.
