| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need You're right, sorry, I forgot cable length. The length is 2m for that system.No, I'm not going to connect that receiver with two 0 awg wires, apologies for the confusion.I have three "systems".An HT/listening room: classe ct5300 -> 2.5m cable -... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Bringing this back to topic, b4icu, did you say that this doesn't work on class D amplifiers? If so, does that also go for class T as well?And what about for budget receivers and speakers, for example, I have this amp: https://www.cnet.com/product... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @geoffkait , absolutely. While the logic and absolute-ness (in audio, indeed!) might not be agreed on by everyone, I'm an advocate of trying it and seeing how I get on. If bi-wiring has claims to work (ignoring any bi-amping, whether active or pas... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I understand. I mistyped. I mean bi-wiring. I’ll edit my message so it’s consistent. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I may be mistaken here, but isn’t the net effect of this and bi-wiring the same? My understanding is that bi-wiring connects one pair of terminals at the amp end along four lengths of wire, connecting to four terminals at the speaker end. Given th... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Do you have a link to those adaptors? I don’t think I came across any. Nevermind actually, I googled. I might already have some bananas that’ll work.My plan is to bend the spades back by 45 degrees to give myself additional clearance if needed. it... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I ordered them from chameleoncables on ebay:2 of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192412561182And 1 of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192044378960I spoke with the shop owner and he's going to cut the cable into 4 x 2.5 m lengths and terminate ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I ordered mine and they came in slightly cheaper than I was expecting, £125. They're being cut and crimped this weekend and will be shipped to me on Monday, I should have them hooked up at the end of the week so I'll report back with images. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Thanks for the image, the cables sure are going to be monsters.I'm going to get them terminated with spades (spades/forks, not rings as in your picture) so there'll be no cutting of the terminals required.Everything is very close to the floor so w... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need The cable I’m considering is actually closer to 2/0 awg, it has an area of 65mm, and he has the tools to crimp the spades on so I’m probably just going to go with that. I have good clearance around the binding posts on both the amp and the speaker... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I'm assuming that the spade comments are for my benefit? If so, thanks.I can get the cable unterminated and use a cable reducer to drop the cable down to 4awg. Once it's 4awg it'll fit in a banana plug. Or I can use a distribution block to join 0a... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I've found a seller in the UK (chameleoncable on ebay) that sells 0 awg OFC copper cable. b4icu was kind enough to advise me that my set up (classe ct5300 -> B&W 802) would need 4 awg.I've spoken with the seller and he'll make me up 4 x 2.5... |
