That last line said it all, Bob.  Speakers and other audio gear
tend to get moved around a lot.  Thus they are usually connected
using stranded cable.

As for audio propagation, there's zero difference between solid
and stranded cable.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is either
trying to sell you something, listening to audio salesmen spout
pseudo-scientific drivel or Olson.  None should be believed.
