Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables?
Thoughts on these?
Thanks!
Speaker cables aren't rocket science. Lots of inexpensive cables sound great. At least 99% of the very expensive one. You need: 1. good copper 2. heavy gauge wire 3. good connections 4. Good connectors. These are 14 ga which is a little light on my preferences for 2 above. I like 10 ga. I assume you don't need biwires. I have used cables by ebay seller "Legend Audio" with no complaints. I'm leaning now toward the woven designs. Not sure about inexpensive versions of those. Jerry |
@muvluv What if I told you gold was a significantly inferior conductor to copper? about 30% more resistance. So your solid gold speaker wires would have to be heavier gauge.....
