This assumes that we're talking about passive loudspeakers, NOT those
with built-in power amps. Twisted pair. No need for shielding. If it's a
serious hi-fi system, use #10 or #12 to preserve the "tightness" of bass
response. If there's still RFI, add a choke where it connects to the
power amp.
Small conductors like CAT5 can cause the lows to go "mushy" by degrading
the damping factor.
