The amplifier will see the capacitance of two speaker cables and in this
sense they are in parallel which will add the capacitance of each. The
cables are not connected together at the speaker end and don't cover the
same frequency spectrum so in no sense are they in parallel for current
flow to the speaker.


Unless the cables have significant capacitance inductance resistance etc
they are effectively in parallel at the speaker end. And are carrying
exactly the same signal since they are paralleled at the source of that
signal.
