Internal Speaker Wiring ??


I just had occasion to pull a driver from my Thiel 7's and was quite surprised to see what looked like a rather "wimpy" wire connecting the driver to the crossover. It made me wonder if the "weakest link" theory applied to internal speaker wiring. In other words, am I foolish to spend hundreds of dollars on amp wiring and speaker cable when there may only be garden variety wiring inside the speaker ??

Sean these are classic Belle Klipsch circa 1978 with original metal horns. At $4500/pr. yet they're not even considered audiophile grade spk's (others' opinions; I obviously disagree) but I covered that in a previous thread & had other supporters, but no arguments. I will certainly be in contact & am gratetful for y'all sharing your knowledge & experiences. Klipsch bulletin board? I must find out about that!
Liz: yes those "Henry-things" are inductors all right; ROFL from your description, but not laughing AT ya ok?
I love my horns too, despite their acknowledged colorations which I'm hoping to tweak on. I already bought the Dynamat & lamb's wool & Kimber wire, but then I went on-hold as explained above. As an engineer I'm certainly a confirmed tweaker; by nature I just can't help it.
I owned a pair of Klipsch CF-3's. They were my last pair of speakers before journying into Hi Fi. I admit there were a lot of drawbacks but I enjoyed the sound. The horn tweeters really grabbed your attention.
Elizabeth, I did change my caps and resistors on my dunlavys
with crescendo caps and ohmite resistors from
www.northcreekmusic.com the sounic difference was amazing
