Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

resistance is proportional to temperature

so the colder wire will have better conductivity.

The difference will probably not be audible though. At 20ºC, the temperature coefficient for the resistivity of copper is 0.0039 /ºC.

You won't hear a difference of a few hundredths of an ohm in one wire I bet... the differences between channels due to so many other factors in the amp/speakers/etc. far outweigh this variation.

Worry about other things I say... :)
