The theory is very straight forward: the cable is a pair of resistors (in fact more complex load as it is a combination of resistor and capacitors) that you put in series in the circuit formed by the amp and the speakers.
The thicker the cable, the lower the resistance. Therefore if you consider that not to be heard the added resistance needs to be less than 1/10 of the output resistance of the amplifier (don’t take 1/10 as a real value it’s just for illustration purpose), you would ‘need’ a cable showing 100 less resistance for an Amp having a damping factor 100 greater.
Or if I take the example given by @B4ICU a Devialet would benefit from a cable 1000 times less resistive than a tube amplifier would.
My two cents
