| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need All very interesting and somewhat entertaining...............b4icu MAY have a valid point concerning what is best or at least better, vs what is PRACTICAL..........As some have already seen, connecting "0" awg to any gear I've ever seen is at the ... | |
| How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener. Problem with audiophile-ism is that most people are always looking for ways to make what they're already happy with, better.........If you have endless money....I don't...you can stay on that merry-go-round forever............My system is relative... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need When in doubt, try it out.........isn't that what we all do anyway? Some things seem to work for some people, in some systems, some things don't. If I do something to my system and hear an improvement, but you can't replicate the results, does tha... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I am assuming, based on your posts, that if I got the amp back closer/between the speakers and could reduce the length by half, that I could then use a slightly smaller gauge, perhaps a 3AWG x 2 would then suffice?.......Or did I forget something?... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Sonicelectronix.com............NVX "0" AWG, OFC, high flex, silver tinned. On sale $170 for 50 foot roll, free shipping.......Any takers? | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Quick check of car audio sites has "speaker wire" in the sizes we're talking about. The stranding is very fine and likely to be much more flexible than what I saw at HD today. That had 19 strands, each of which was quite thick and not bendy.......... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need OK, had to run an errand, so I stopped in Home Depot to check out 0 AWG wire.............Smallest/largest they had on hand was 2 AWG.............My God, the stuff is huge, heavy and stiff and this was stranded, sort of..............I'm not an elec... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Seems to be the case. Shorter/thicker generally gets the nod. Not sure how much audible difference there would be. That said, just did a quick search for "0" AWG OFC wire, pretty cheap, especially by A-phile standards. Seems to be popular for car ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need b4icu..........thank you again. I did have my amp between the speakers until recently, with shorter cables. The spot was inconvenient, but I understand your point, shorter is better.......and less expensive :)............Most here seem to be male,... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icuThank you sir, I'm not sure I buy what you're selling..........for free as you say:), but I may look for some 0 awg and give it a try.

| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Sorry for the double post, site isn't acting right :( | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icuThis has been interesting and might I add amusing to read.........OK, I'll play, why not, I might learn something useful.........Bryston 4BST amp, bi-wired to Vandersteen 3A signature speakers. Advertised DF is 500+ if I recall correctly....... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Recently upgraded to Vandersteen 3a Signatures. I know many speakers do more and better, but for me this is as good as it needs to get.........If I die next week, color me happy........not about the dying part, the speakers. :) | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? Not my idea of an optimum setup, but I always liked the cool blue effect.......a bit distracting though........Doesn't matter, I couldn't afford them if I wanted to. :(.............I'll stick with Vandy's, your basic black dress. :). She ain't the... | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? Wow, lots of help and suggestions..............much appreciated folks. I learn more every day..........40 years, two channel audiophile, but the HT thing will be new ground. Lots of similarities, but important differences as well.Daughter is in Fl... |
