Yep,
the RF cables require MUCH better shielding than audio cables, these should
work fine electrically for signal leads, physical properties like
flexibility etc?? you choose if you like it.. as far as spke leads go,
ultimately the resistance in the cable thus conductor size will be the
limiting factor.. dont matter what shape it is, thin wire wont transfer
large power to your speakers without losing some..
Cheers,
Dan
