In Reply to: which speaker cable construction is better? posted by bouncy ball on February 9, 2015 at 18:34:10:
Get some Belden 12 gauge multi-strand twisted pair. Use high quality connectors, and do a superb job of soldering.
Don't forget to put the heatshrink tubing on BEFORE you solder. ;)
An often overlooked aspect is the contact area between the cable connector and the speaker terminal. Example: Sure the trusty old 1/4" phone connector (as is typically used on headphones) is convenient, but the contact area between the tip and the jack is miniscule, inhibiting performance when you're talking about a hundred watts or even more.
Depending upon your level of fussiness, low level interconnects may be a different matter with regard to cable selection. But even there, the big deal is still the quality of the connectors and soldering.
