Possibly. Maybe they handle more power. Think about the 8ga speaker wire going to a lead that is half the size.

Strength? I'm guessing but I guess the same reason spiders are woven and now dcs new surrounds have some woven material in them. Strenf.

average person doesnt use 8 guage speaker wire, though. Cant you get by with a smaller wire if you are only using it for a short distance?
