There are no right or wrong speaker cables if they’re made of wire capable of handling the current. There is no objective difference but to humour your train of thought, you should find speaker cables from the same era for the best synergy.

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.
