For my own curiosity wondering how far the "signal" would go: From what I gather this "signal" travels in this medium at a rate of 0.7c, or about 195,000 km per second, so at 60Hz every 0.0167 seconds the energy wave can travel 3250 kilometres before changing directions.
To be clear here guys, I do not have a degree in Physics.
The energy doesn’t change direction. The Energy travels from the source >>> to the load (in one direction) >>> at near the speed of light in a vacuum. I have read in real time around 50% to 70% of the speed of light.

If the speakers were 3251 kilometers away would there be no signal- would the energy simply stop and turn back the other direction, and one would hear no sound from the speaker?
That’s a tough one.LOL, Not sure exactly what you are asking.
I doubt if @rodman99999 could answer it. He has a degree in Physics.
Are you talking about using a pair of wires? Need more info... If wires you are going to need thick conductors and step up the output signal voltage. You are talking over 2000 miles.
I have never heard of energy returning to the source... Current does in a closed circuit. Current travels (slower than cold maple syrup) from the source through the load back to the source. Current is not consumed by a connected load. The energy is what makes the Light bulb light. Not the current.
