First of all, 2 is not the strand count, it's the conductor count. You purchased 2 conductor speaker wire. Second, the gentleman asking the question asked about 14/4 cable, so his conductor count is 4 making your answer not only ridiculously unhelpful but also completely inaccurate for his purposes. If you don't know the answer to a question, just don't answer. What he's specifically inquiring about is the number of strands of wire contained in one conductor. This is not typically an important measurement for anything but wire flexibility. Some people erroneously believe that it is an indication of wire quality, but it's not. More strands equals more flexible. Electrical wire for a house has 1 strand per conductor because it's not super important that it be flexible.
