SQ of speaker wire: Does it make a difference or are you wasting money?


Recommended Posts

I have seen people ask if wire makes a real difference in SQ or not and was kind of curious myself. I found a very interesting article on the subject to answer some questions that I thought a lot of people might enjoy. I'm not sure how this transfers to power wire such as 4G and such, but id be much more worried about quality power wire since its carrying much more power than 16g speaker wire.

He basically goes on to say that sufficient wire size definitely matters and you will always notice a difference if you are using undersized wire for a task. Also, just because paying $4 a foot for speaker wire is probably a waste of money doesn't mean to go with the cheapest wire you can find. All cheap wire is not made equal!

Enjoy reading. :good:

Edit: Fixed some typos and was curious as to what speaker wire everyone else run and your take on it. Have you used wire that 'sounded better' then your last? Was it a higher gauge? Etc.
