Something Else I'm Wondering About


I don't know why, but only recently have I noticed, and am now questioning, why the internal wiring of speakers is usually a much smaller gauge than the cables we hook them up with. If a larger gauge wire is "better" for hooking them up to the amp/receiver, etc..., then why not use a similar gauge wire in the very speaker itself? Also, does this mean that we need not use the larger, more expensive gauges if what we are seeking is better/optimal sound? Will a smaller/cheaper gauge wire yield the same results?


Thanks for your feedback.

however, I have upgraded internal wiring to excellent benefit.


Recently, I picked up a pair of Open Baffle Emerald Physics 3.4s with external XOs, Unfortunately, the way the wire was configured in the open baffle prevented me from upgrading it, but after I listened to them with the similar crap wire jumpers between the binding posts and the XOs, I then upgraded to WireWorld OCC, which is designed for these purposes, the improvement over the OEM 20" jumpers was night and day
