Speaker wire selection for inefficient speaker?


Hi,

I have an old B&W XTC Center channel speaker which is not very efficient. I am using a basic OFHC copper cable I bought years ago from a hifi dealer (don't recall the brand).  Would a different kind of cable, material, construction, would help drive the speaker better than these? KEY POINT, the DISTANCE IS ONLY 6-8 feet!

From what I understand, the resistance at 6 feet wouldn't make much of a difference between cables, but wanna know from more experienced users if a specific type of cable might help in these situations?

 

Thanks!

To answer Kota, I have a receiver with tone control, and an external amp. When I run tone test check, Center is always the lowest and needs +5 dB increase to level out with my left and right channels (B&W 805), hence trying to help it a little but as I assumed and others stated, a wire that short shouldn't matter in terms of resistance.
