Synergistic element copper good for power amp?

I am looking for a pair of cable for my monoblocks.  Are the Synergistic research Element Copper good for that application?  I think usually people recommend a thicker cable for high current equipment like power amps, and the Element Copper doesn’t seem to be design for that purpose.  Does anyone use the Element Copper on power amps can comment on your experience?

@gte357s - Take a look at the higher end of the product line from Zavfino - they are well designed cables that perform extremely well

 

They should provide a noticealble improvement in dynamic performance and bass detail and depth.

I;ve seen tungston mentioned in a few high end acables and it puzzles me because

  • copper is a better conductor - OCC copper even better
  • using a metal that does not conduct as well as copper would
    • degrade dymanic performance
    • degrade clarity, which in turn impacts imaging

Is it used to "tame" overly bright systems?

Personally I use OCC copper or silver (for interconnects) and love the dynamics and details they bring to my sysem. I cannot see using a cable to downgrade the characteristics of a system

Any thoughts?
