This post in in the same genre of cables (my last query was about HDMI
cables and thanks I got good convincing responses). This one is about
speaker cables.
I am connecting my Pioneer receiver to my focal surround sound
speakers. My retailer sold me $80 audioquest cables (apaparently they
are thicker and the wires don't intertwine i.e. they go through
straight). I was told I will hear the difference between cheaper
speaker wires and these. Is there a difference between using these
speaker wires or the cheaper 16 guage belkin speaker wires ($25) or
the monster speaker wires ($35)
Thanks
Andy
Yes, there is a difference. The Monster cables are more expensive.
16 gauge 'speaker' wire has the same capacity for current (what actually
drives your speaker cones) as 16 gauge house extension cords - but which
one is cheaper? If I really cared at all I'd simply get a 14 gauge
extension power cord and cut the ends off and use that to hook up my
speakers.
