Question for Paradigm Owners, what speaker cable??

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

I'd do exactly what you're doing, George. I'd run 12-gauge and not worry about it --assuming my speakers didn't present too difficult a load. (I don't know the minimum impedance of your speakers, but someone else may.)

Of course, I'm one of those people who believes that the pursuit of better sound through exotic cables is folly. If you're into that, you'll get lots of suggestions on your new thread.

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.
