Well Arild...
There is a lot of "freak speak" in the world, by which I mean that some people try to impress others by talking a lot of poppycock. "Ageing of copper, influencing the sound quality" is one of these hoaxes. Also the bl....y expensive gold plated banana pins you refer to are freak speak and in my opinion total nonsense. How many do you need, the price of the normal thing is about Eu. 0.80 .....!
For the loudspeaker, with normal living room volume and distances a simple 2x 1.5 Qmm will do; most practical is the stuff with a red and a black lead. Also available at a reasonable price. If you like I could provide any of the mentioned things, cables (what length?) and banana pins.
Good luck
Nico
