What speaker cables for SET?

Why would a SET amp require different speaker wires than a PP amp? Using the same speakers and wire between two different set of amps here, a Dennis Had Fire Bottle amp and a set of MC40 mono blocks.

I have two 2A3 SET amps in systems and both run DH Labs T-14. That stuff is stranded silver coated
copper wire. It is 14 gauge and for my systems, it offers the best sound I have heard. In runs
of 15 - 20' I noticed that the cable lets the system retain the high end sparkle where it was
lost with standard 12 or 14 gauge copper wire from Monster Cable. But, the stuff isn't cheap.
Still, you get what you pay for. I use their Q-10 with my Jadis Defy 7. I've had good luck with
all their cables and the prices are cheaper then any cable of similar quality. You can buy bulk cable
from them and it is cheaper then buying their terminated cables.
 
"you get what you pay for" and sometimes a lot more.

Case in point are the $10 Walmart Woods Patio Cords aka White Lightning Moonshines
