No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

First show me your "optimum" speaker, source, amplification, etc.

The premise of the post is fallacious. :(

Anyone with experience knows that what you are asking for is not relevant to achieving the most pleasing sound with an audio system. Go ahead, procure measurements; they will bear little relation to whether you actually prefer the sound of a particular speaker cable. YMMV


BTW, leaving other cables out of the discussion ruins the entire endeavor. You cannot properly tune an audio system by placing focus only on the speaker cables. You may as well guess at it.  :)

b4icu, I concur about the importance of AWG. You are ripping yourself off in terms of performance by neglecting the power cabling. You have a lot of performance improvements available to you if you seek out aftermarket (or make your own, if you wish) power cords. You are not at the summit. Work with power cords and the system will improve greatly. I do not need to hear your system to know it. 

I know you are quite well versed on the theory. Now, ignore it and follow my advice. You will not be disappointed.  :) 

I am not trying to argue with you, but encourage you to go the next step.

b4icu, would you like to show us the naked termination going from the 0 AWG cable to the spade or banana connector? I would like to see how you did that. Thanks!
