[Elecraft] OT: Speaker Wire Recommendations?

OK... so I am knee deep in assembling and installing a subRX, et al.,
but got reminded by the XYL that I STILL have not addressed the signal
bleed into the audio system via the long runs of parallel conductor
speaker wires in the HT setup.
In order to maintain a high "SAF" (Spouse Acceptance Factor), I need to
deal with this issue WHILE I am in the attic re-configuring the network
and routing various shack related wiring.
I cannot imagine a stellar group of operators as are gathered here have
not had to deal with this before. <grin> I am hoping that replacing
the speaker wire with either simple twisted pair (or shielded, twisted
pair, w/shield properly terminated) will mitigate the hits the HT system
is taking.
*Q: Do any of y'all have recommendations for a particular wire stock
for use in this application?* Small system... only about 50W per
channel on the 5 main speakers, so they don't have to be monster-sized
conductors. I considered using CAT-5(+) wire and bonding all 4 pair to
a single loop, but I don't think a single run would be enough copper
(?), and I don't want to make multiple runs per driver.
*Any ideas?*
