What kind of speaker wire is needed? 16 or 18 gauge null

I used 16 gauge for the new wires I ran. I installed one speaker on wire that had been installed years ago and was smaller...not sure what gauge it was. Both work fine.

These speakers will not handle enough power, in watts, to require anything over 18 ga. 16 will work fine, of course, but is not required. You may hear different opinions from audiophiles, but these are not in that category.
