The purpose of twisted wire for any application, including speakers, is to
reduce or cancel any induced voltages to that pair of wires.  Sources of
induced voltages could be magnetic (transformers, current carrying wire,
etc) or Radio Frequency (CB, HAM, etc).  So unless you have an amateur radio
operator living close by or CBer running an illegal amount of power, you
might not have to worry about interference, and the twisted wire pair.
