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!

That is what the 5db boost is for. To equalize the channels for your seating position..

Cables will not make a difference. I agree with @fuzztone. You rebalance your surround processor. It will do the job for you. You go through an cycle to set volumes and delay times.
