Seriously not interested in trolls. Helpful advice only. High efficency speakers don't benefit from fat $15k speakers. I've heard 16 gauge OCC copper or silver wire from companies like Neotech work well. Heavy cables don't really provide discernible difference since they're designed to drive low efficiency speakers. Altecs are based on old Western Electric designs and can be driven with fairly low watt tube gear.
Advice on choosing speaker cables for vintage Altec Model 19 speakers
I'm putting together a vintage system for a Japanese-styled Kissa Listening bar. So far I have a pair of Altec Model 19 with the Werner Jagusch crossovers for the mains and a pair of Klipsch Heresy II for the back fills. These will be driven by two Liine-Magnetic Tube amps. I'd like some advice from those who have used or are using the Altecs on choosing the right speaker cables for this vintage styled system.

I would assume that Western electric used western electric wire. |
