If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

I'm thinking this wire and adding some quality banana plugs or RCA connectors to make interconnects.  Is 2x16 enough or should I double up?  Is shielding an issue?  Thanks!

Louis loaned me a pair of 3HO XRS’s so I know exactly how these speakers sound. Those Omega’s are electrostatic fast, hyper detailed and downright spooky how great they sound with good recordings. But they’re unforgiving on lesser sources.

Acoustic Zen Hologram II speaker cables tamed that to a degree. Other Omega owners I’ve chatted with seem to agree that a thick high quality copper cables work best.

I opted for his Modern CAMs with alnico drivers. A much smoother ride for me overall but still darn spooky good. My Sboosted Qutest is always set to warm/non-cutoff filter.
