I've actually used the standard household electrical wire you're asking about. This was several system iterations back but the upstream gear was still decent: an LP12 Valhalla with SME IIIs and Shure V15-VMR was the source. Had no money for better cables so used 12 ga house wire. Sound was OK in the bass, gritty in the highs and hard in the mids. I moved with some relief to something else which had better highs but less bass, then upgraded again when I could.
This may be a silly question but...
Has anyone ever tried using standard household electrical wire for speaker wire? After reading about the Anit-Cables...sold copper wire, minimum installation...isn't that the same type of theory but with a lot thicker wire?
Sorry, I was running some new wiring last night and it got me thinking.
