All this is eye-of-newt-and-toe-of-frog. Get good, rationally-engineered, not-too-expensive cables (I use Blue Jeans), and keep them matched in length and reasonably short.
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

morg111, invective aside, is a truth-teller. The article he cites, http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm, is science combined with common sense, and a real money-saver. All that said it makes sense to take care (or pay some company some tens of dollars to take care) with the end connectors to amp and speakers. |
@steve cham -- true. But if the solder or soldered connector brittle, cracked or oxidized, the pins are oxidized or wobbly, or the metal mismatched then you can get plenty of degradation in sound. It's happened to me and some serious pros in a neurobiology lab. Tens of dollars isn't going to beggar anyone. |
Be civil, people. Personal invective is mean-spirited and counterproductive, (A certain amount of generalized invective launched into the aether can be fun.) As an audio dilettante and a scientist, I find all the discussions of cables not based on laws of physics or blind comparisons to be , well, entertainment. BE NICE NOW! |
