10% is not reasonable. I’m my system, that gives me 17k to play with. Not happening. 18-20% was my sweet spot.



^^^^ This is why it’s good to bring some alternative viewpoints for balance, when newbies come to an audiophile forum to ask about cables. Lest they simply accept that they have to spend a lot of money on cables to get good sound.

My speaker cables cost about $70 for the pair, and only that much because I had a long run to buy. That’s something like .8 percent only of what my previous speakers cost me, let alone my whole system!
I get great sound. I like it better than the sound my pal gets with many thousands of dollars worth of boutique cables.

So, another viewpoint to consider for the OP.

(I use Belden. If it’s good enough for pros to use in creating many excellent recordings, it’s good enough to pass those signals to my speakers).
