About 40 years ago as a 'summer student' I did some high voltage cable connector testing at the CEGB in Leatherhead, UK (used to be UK CEGB..Central Electicity Generating Board). Yeah, it was true then...the silver soldered high compression guys won out over the compressed only ones. Mind you this was with short circuit currents of about 10k Amp. We stood behind a 2" thick glass plate window to watch the action in case the cables blew out of their holders. If I recall, the cables were about 1.5" in diameter. Ohms Law wins every time in speaker cables, unless of course physics has altered significatly in the intervening years!
