Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality?


Increasing speaker cable size (for example w/AQ the cable sizes move up in size from 15AWG to 10AWG) improve sound quality?

Good question. Good answers. Long story short, decreasing resistance in speaker cable with fatter wire can improve speaker performance… how much it might help is a nuanced consideration that depends on how much current reaches your speakers now and how much capacitance and induction your current cables hold. A couple previous answers work well to bring peace of mind . Well reviewed studio quality cable brands like Canare and Mogami are safe cost-effective universal solutions. My Wharfedale Heritage Lintons love Mogami 3103, a quad arranged cable with two 12 AWG OFC wires and two inert strands to keep the spacing even in the cable.

Agreed with "end obsession with basic studio cable" thought.  Nine ft Mogami 2921 speaker level three-wire Neutrik out to my REL t5i and total of 25 ft of Mogami 3103 with good banana clips to my Wharfedale Lintons and I sleep well at night on this topic, LOL
