Its a bit complicated but here are a few things ive learned, had a chat a few weeks about it at work...
in laymans terms...
1. The signal that will travel down the cable, will move in a clockwise movement, from your amp to speaker. It will do this down each core (copper/silver/other), so it will end up around the very edge of each core.So when people talk about a speaker cable having many small cores, Its more (edges) to travel down, making the job easier for the signal ( = less resistance = a better sound).
2. With regaurd to the clockwise movement, thats why some say that a speaker cable that has its cores,twisted in a clockwise way will help the signal (because the signals already travelling clockwise down each strand in the cores, if the cores themselves are twisted clockwise then its even more ( clockwise ) movement into the signal path.
My cdplayer to amp interconnect has the same kind of spec, see here..

3. Then theres individual sheilding on cores, metal braiding, that help stop intererence from other cables, and obviously oxygen free specs that are what they are.
More small cores the better, loads of clockwise twisting, topped with silver foil and braiding!
