Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables

While reading a "professional "review of the Daedalus Audio Ulysses Floorstanding Speaker, the reviewer is adamant about the improvement TWO sets of speaker cables connected to each speaker - regardless of the brand - makes.

This is something that crossed my mind long ago, prior to reading it now, but I’ve never realistically considered trying it nor have I ever come across this in a review. At face-value it seems to me this technique would do more harm than good. I’m wondering if there are any folks on the forum using this technique of two sets of cables (and as mentioned in the article this is irrespective of bi-amping or merely using a smaller gauge) and if so, can/do you vouch for any "improvement" one should expect.

Thanks.

Apologies to anyone that thinks this should be a separate post but In a similar vein can someone provide cable recommendations for DIY speaker cable runs of 25 ft.  My speakers are 4 ohms with dual sets of binding posts.  The leading candidate so far is a double run of canare 4s11 but would like other suggestions.  Incidentally, clicking on the clear day link brought me to C2G (“cables to go”) but unfortunately, I didn’t see anything about double runs of cables.  

Woul like to keep the cost between $500 and $1000 (for what is essentially 100 ft of cable).  Bulk wire listed on The Parts Connextion can get pretty pricey.
