olds1959special Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I am using two pairs of speaker wires for my 2Ci's. Right now I'm using 14AWG. Should I change to 12AWG? They are short runs, 6 feet right now and I might shorten them to 3 feet if I change to 12AWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vandersteen Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If there is a difference in sound between 12AWG and 14AWG it won't be the gauge that makes the difference but length with either will. RV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The Kimber 4TC is equivalent to 13ga. I would go the 8 or 12, which are 9ga and 8ga respectively. There are certainly more expensive options, but at that price point, the Kimbers are not a bad choice (IMO). I guess if it is bi-wired then 8TCs top-n-bottom would also be a choice. As RC said… Keep em short if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC-93 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Home Depot sells different gauges of lamp cord. Great price point. The electrons don't know what brand they are travelling through to the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olds1959special Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 I cut my speaker wires in half so now they are closer to 3 feet. I am impressed by the improvement in sound quality. I'm hearing more detail and resolution now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Glad to hear you this. I am always impressed by how shortening speaker cables results in better sound. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
