A little perspective. 90+% of the problems are associated with too small a gauge wire. This is especially important for inefficient speakers. So I always use 10awg wire for speaker wires. From there you can spend thousands of dollars on the last few percent but the key is heavy gauge.
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!
