Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG

I have a new setup Marantz AV8805 paired with any Amp 10, Focal Aria k2 926 limited Edition towers and Focal Aria EVO X Center speaker. I’d like to connect the speakers with shielded 12awg wire, however I’m finding it difficult to find the wire. Had an order in with Madisound but they said it’s out of stock. I’m looking for 12awg OFC with a high strand count, any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Have you researched using shielded speaker cables?

Here’s one guys opinion on shielded speaker cables.

From my limited listening experience, other than coax cables used from a TT to a phono preamp, shielded cables can suck the air, the life, out of the sound of the music. That’s even been my experience with shielded power cords.

There are other ways to control EMI other than using a shield. Twisting the wires together. Braiding the wires together. Just to name two methods.

It can be quite complex...

One example:

Iconoclast Cable. The "Wire we Here?"
