Actually the opposite.

You're right. Its ln( D/r ).

But then, if I think about it, increasing the radius 'r' of a conductor
to compensate for lower conductivity will also increase the center to
center distance 'D' by approximately the same amount. This assumes that
speaker wires will be constructed with similar insulation thickness.
Ignoring proximity effects (which my transmission line* formula doesn't
include), the line Z will be the same.

*by transmission lines, I mean the big ones on steel towers, where D >>
r.
