No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

Till than, just going in circles, spending money and enjoy the journy. Hope you are not on the same page on other subjects, as health.

For the un of it... As for the optimum, as I assume you already own an amplifier and a set of speakers, they are given. so is placment that requires the length. You may never know if your preference is right, till you get to hear the optimum (the one) and compar. Other cables: if I use XLR's and an ordinary catle power cord, I'm good. It won't get any better than that.

Go ahead, procure measurements; they will bear little relation to whether you actually prefer the sound of a particular speaker cable. YMMV BTW, leaving other cables out of the discussion ruins the entire endeavor. You cannot properly tune an audio system by placing focus only on the speaker cables. You may as well guess at it. :)

I'm talking here on speaker's cables only. So lets leave the other cables out ot this discussion. The only insite I have from your answer, is that You say "try and error with a budget". I say, "Tell me what brand and model your amp. and speakers are, what is the distance between them - and I'll calculate for you what cable is required". The optimum cable for the money. First time - and also the last.

It is up to the end user to experiment & determine what cable they like best in their system and how much they want to pay for it. It really is quite simple, just treat it as you would another component.
