Todd - conventional wisdom says use larger gauge wire.
I was using 10 gauge silver plated wire from Van Den hul.
Then I received a pair of KLE Innovations gZero2 speaker cables - I wondered how could these skinny little cables better my 10 gauge?
Well - they trounced the Van den Hul.
They use a smaller gauge signal and a heavier gauge neutral.
Many power cvables are using 18 gauge wire and this application is for speakers, which carry a lot less power at normal listening levels.
I would try it first with some cat6 first a single strand and then a double strand to see what the differences are. Then you could move up to silver once you’ve found the correct gauge formula.
You could try the conductor from Vanden Hul IC cable - its great copper and silver plated. Or to start with try the conductors from DH Labs BL-1 IC cable - it's a lot cheaper
Hope that helps
