Speaker cable solid and strand copper cable

I wonder if I could get better highs extension using a solid copper cable for the high frequencies speaker binding post, and strand wire for the bass frequencies speaker binding post, both 6 feet long, one with spades the other with bananas terminal ?

@audiosens - solid wires are better for all signal transfers.

Grnated - solid wires can fracture, but I don't move my cables that often

What may be causing your issues is

  • the insulation on the wire
  • the geometry of the cable.
  • type of wire used - the best copper wire today is UP-OCC copper
    • or you could opt for solid Silver UP-OCC wire

Take a look at my post on this iink

However if oyu apparent lack of top end is due to the speaker - there is no cable that can rectify that

If you have any questions just ask

Hope that helps - Steve
