Speaker Cables

Can someone here please catch me up on speaker cables?

I haven't done any serious listening for a couple decades (because darling daughter took my receiver, etc. off to college); but I'm getting my old system (mid '70s) back together and getting issues sorted.

I see that there is a whole forum that discusses cables, but I didn't find anything other than specific cable questions. My speakers are Advent (Large) and Baby Advent IIs. Both have the spring connectors. I got my foam surround kit from Simply Speakers today and have them about ready to put back in their cabinets. I'm waiting for glue to dry sufficiently on the surrounds to allow me to install the gaskets, then it's back into the cabinet with the woofers and connecting them to my old Pioneer SX-727.

I have speaker wires that have the proprietary Pioneer plugs on one end and tinned stranded wire on the other. This is wire that comes shielded and the pair inside another vinyl cover, not the old transparent stuff. Continuity checks out; so I expect to get sound.

It has been a very long time since I delved into sound systems. I've never used anything other than simple, inexpensive cables. Can someone point me to a wiki where I can begin to learn what I need to learn?

TIA
a geezer with good hearing
