Using different gauge wire for biwiring


Hi all, I have a 2 way speaker you can biwire. I was thinking using 12g wire for the tweeter and 10g wire for the mid/woofer, both wires will have same length. Is it better to keep the gauge the same for both? If so, should I use 12 or 10g for both? Thanks.

The ideal is to use identical wire.

Why would that be the case? Wiring in just about any application is sized to the current demand. My experience is with the DH Labs cable which is a 14g and 12g combination and it has worked admirably with two very different speaker and amp combinations.
