Speaker cable


Can someone tell me why positive (red) cable is of copper and the return (white) is of whatever? It could be sliver plated, but why is it necessary, what does it add?

thanks

Positive and ground are really the same thing. It's just a convention which is positive or negative. A circuit goes in both directions in each of the two wires. Therefore both should be electrically the same. Anything else is BS.,
