I've been to one in Arizona, years ago. Still have the helicopter clock I got there to mount to my motorcycle.

The reason we use stranded wire for speakers is because of the skin effect.
14ga sold wire would not be good for audio, but 14ga stranded is.
Yes there have been problems over the years with plastic insulation, chemical break downs etc. John
I may have misunderstood your comment on the skin effect, but I assume you mean that smaller individual wires would allow more skin effect transmission than solid wire of the same overall gauge. I think the skin effect at audio frequencies might not be very much in play with stranded, bundled wire. If each strand were insulated from the others, that would certainly be true. I admit I do not know to what extent a cable of uninsulated strands would behave as a single wire. My guess would be significantly in audio frequencies and less so at high frequencies.
Notice the construction of Solen Hepa-litz inductors, carefully stranded magnet wire. Really tough insulation bonded to single strand copper conductors.
