Liguy, your thoughts are right on target from a technical perspective. This is exactly why there are so many questions as to why things "measure well" but do not "sound good".
I would simply add that a well designed preamp should be able to deal with a "reasonable" amount of capacitance. Whether the capacitance is spread out due to line length or "bunched up" due to a short but highly reactive design doesn't really matter. It is the total impedance (interconnect AND the input of the device being driven) that counts.
As to speaker cables and current capacity, using heavy gauge speaker cables will minimize line loss. After all, what do you think is going to "current limit" the system more: the traces on the circuit board from the output devices, the wires from the circuit board to the binding posts, the speaker cable, the crossover circuit inside the speaker or the single strand wire in the voice coils ???
You have to look at it as an entire SYSTEM, not just piece by piece. Sean

PS... If you ever looked inside of most gear, you could find MILLIONS of ways to "upgrade" or "tweak" it.
