That's a great article. One thing I have questioned is that people hook up expensive low guage wire to their amps, but what is inside the speaker, running between the components (connectors, crossovers, drivers)? It would seem that the quality of the signal path is only as good as the weakest link, and if that link is in the speaker, then what's the point of using fancy wires to get the power across the room only to have it be degraded by the speaker mechanism itself?
