I agree. They should have low and frequency- and current-independent impedance within the range suitable for the speakers and amplifier, and the easy way to achieve this is to make them thick. My cables are constituted by two pairs of fairly thick wires positioned so that they make a quadropole. I think the idea is that they make a very simple coaxial cable which does not generate to large external field, but the most important thing is that they can get a lot of current through without rising the resistance. I think my amplifier is capable of pulses at 8A and I'm sure the cables can take a lot more than that.
