Question for Paradigm Owners, what speaker cable??


Noticed the other thread about Paradigms, for those users that are currently using these speakers, what are you using for wire and are you bi-wiring??? Thanks

Hi All,
I own a pair of Reference Studio 60V2 and use 12awg "speaker" cable from my local home center. It sounds good, but I'm concerned if I should use an "audiophile" cable. I have ~25-30 feet beteen my power amp and speakers. What should I do?

Thanks
George
So Bomarc, what would you do if you were dealing with 25-30 feet between amp speaker?
Bomarc,

I've always thought as you; as long as the gauge was correct for the current what's the reason for all the rest. But the issues of Xc and Xl, capacitive and inductive reactance, as well as EMI must be considered at the level of resolution my equipment can provide. My previous system hafler, marantz and Boston Acoustics, in my opinion, did not warrant even concidering upgrading the "wires". I think I owe it to myself to check out the "high end" stuff and see if it makes a difference. If not, no biggie. The education will be worth the minimal cost. But, if so, "!@#$% A" More good tunes for me, my family and friends.

Thanks for the response.
