I have used solid core speaker cables for years and prefer them to stranded. I find in my system that there is better image focus with solid core. I am sensitive to a hazy blurry effect with stranded wire regardless of guage or quality. I also find the timing and pace of the music more accurate with solid core. Others may and will disagree about wires but I find solid core cables are much more accurate to my ears.
