Skin effect in audio, is about misunderstanding of the fenomena. The Skin effect, is mostly about two criteria that do not apply to speaker cables:
1. High power at high (audio high) Fr. with full power BW.
In Audio, the last two octaves are mainly harmonies. They are 20 dB or less of the average SPL. Most thicker cables, that can handle power as high as 20A @ 8 ohms = 3,200W need to handle way less (32W!) and the -20 dB is 100 times less, so it's about 0.32W of 0.2A
If you check on the AWG table:
https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
A #12 AWG wire has a BW of 4150 Hz @ 9.3A or 107 KHz @ 0.361A
Actually, the skin effect fenomena DO NOT exists in audio FR. and cables. It is an Audio daler/dealer BS to have an outstanding product over snake oil advantage. Bringing it up again and again' doesn't make it true.
