Not saying that the lamp cord won't work, but it actually may be less than ideal in certain circumstances, especially 'long runs' to high power speaker systems.

Hope this helps

Addendum: This is not meant to say that you cannot successfully use such cables for this purpose, just make sure they are capable of performing the task.
