It's commonly used by sound system professionals, including sound 
contractors who install permanent systems. Belden and West Penn both 
make stranded twisted pair in the range of #10 to #26. Excessive wire 
resistance degrades bass transient response (makes it "flabby), so if 
you (or your neighbor) is picky, big copper is the weapon of choice. 
Contrary to the high futility mystique pumped out by guys selling snake 
oil, nothing is better than P.O.C. (plain, ordinary copper).
