Ah, but Don, have you cryogenically treated those wires in liquid Nitrogen
so the electrons flow more smoothly along the copper as some Audiophile
sites recommend? 

I even saw one ad for cryogenically-treated power cords that would deliver a
smoother flow of mains power into the amp and so not "turbulate" the audio
signals.

Silliness reigns everywhere...

  Yes, it is all about Ohm's law, but there *are* some advantages to the 
"exotic" cables 1) they are usually made with large diameter wires, 
satisfying the Ohm's law requirement even with higher power amplifiers; 
and 2) they are quite flexible which makes running them in tight places 
easier, and they will stand more flexing before the wires break.

Other than for those advantages, any piece of wire of a suitable size 
for the max power involved will do the job - but I do use the lower 
priced "exotic" cables on my home theater system for the reasons stated.
