| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need HiI would aspect cables maker to specify:1. The actual cooper gauge.2. The cable length (feet or meter).3. It’s actual resistance (for a single and for a pair (Red+Balck) in Ohms.I already made cables of 4 AWG (3m) and 0 AWG (2.5m). Also has the t... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need 0 guage (AWG) wires are difficult to work with. They are thick. Too thick to solder, as by the time the tin melts, the isolator also gets burned. It is no longer as good for isloating, it exposes the cooper to oxidize and look bad. The cable itsel... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. sleepwalker65The answer is with the Damping Factor (DF) of your amplifier. There are some exceptions, if he speakers are not coil loaded (ribbon, electrostatic etc'.) or if the Amp. is a class-D type. But most, use a A-B class amp with ordin... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. cakyolAll cooper for electrical use is 99.5% pure. Try to get one with less!Most cables are using wires as thick as 12-14 AWG because that’s the thicker they can fit into their banana plug (Not a very sintific one). All qualities they say they... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. sleepwalker65 your math is wrong. The cable is fighting the power (P) or the current (I). I used Klipsh speakers (8 ohms) with 99dB/w/m SPL with a Caver 250W amp. that played at 0.001W-1W as loud as it should and still a thicker cable improv... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need For the guy with the Opera Consonance Cyber 800, even thou you have monoblks, because it is tube (very bad DF) and no data on DF! you may use any cable over 24 AWG thick (home phone line). | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need For the gut with the Bryston 4BSST2 and 24’ long cables:You are not doing well. The Bryston 4BSST2 http://www.bryston.com/PDF/Manuals/300006[3B4B].pdf have a DF of 500. You need a 3x0 AWG! it may be expensive...You better get closer, as 8’ and use... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need What makes you think that you got the right cable now? This is a blind shot in the dark as all other cables before. You still may have a cable that is not getting the best out of your speakers. You just don't know that. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Hi SteveWhat amplifier and speakers do they connect? | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Ok.Sorry for the speling. English is my 3rd laguage. This site does not allow to copy from word (speler).

| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need On top, it dosn't alter my opening line: No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need What you say, when I'll here it, I'll know it is.

| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Why would I get lost over and over agin, waist my time and money, rather that use a GPS nav device or a map, and get there first time on spot?For the un of it...As for the optimum, as I assume you already own an amplifier and a set of speakers, th... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Thanks, but sorry...NO.I'm talking here on speaker's cables only. So lets leave the other cables out ot this discussion. The only insite I have from your answer, is that You say "try and error with a budget".I say, "Tell me what brand and model yo... | |
| Bi-Wire Advice for ProAc Response D2 Bi Wire: another urban joke. If you would use a single wire of x guage, instead of a bi-wire that has the same guage (each has half) the single would do better.It can be analyzed on "Spice" as well explained in simple words. Bi wire was a trend of... |
