It's all irrelevant for audio frequencies and normal lengths of wire.
Having the two conductors side by side is perfectly good. Just don't
split the wires and route them to the speaker along opposite walls.


Just curious, but what *would* happen if you did that?

The listener(s) would be inside a 1-turn magnetic loop.

Actually, some hearing-assist systems work by exactly that
method. They use "receivers" with pickup coils and amps
that drive the headphones. And some hearing aids will pick
it up directly (from the coils they use to pick up telephone
receiver audio.)
