No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
So, 10 milliOhm is going to make a big difference? That's 0.010 Ohm resistance. Really?

Note that on 9/28 I provided my amps and speakers, as the OP requested, and the OP didn't provide a response let alone the optimum cable.I call sham, fraud, hoax.
