In Reply to: andyr can you clarify? regarding your post below I am buying some Belden 1585A cable posted by PhilJ on June 24, 2015 at 18:19:25:
Here's a link to a calculator for AWG.
BTW I just bought a 1/2# spool of 16AWG magnet wire for ~$18 including shipping from Remington Industries. I twisted to wires together to make one 15' and one 10' speaker cable (I don't think it is necessary that a stereo pair be of equal length). This is for my 3.7i's which I plan to pickup this Saturday. I have about 1/2 the spool left over. I decided not to terrminate the cables but just use bare metal and clean periodically with Caig Gold. The best termination is no termination.
When I get around to ripping out the xo and biamping, I will go back to 18" speaker cables (also magnet wire) and long XLR IC's.
Just as an aside, I spent $6k for the speakers and essentially $10 for the speaker cables. I twisted the two wires clockwise but am left wondering if I should have accounted for the Coriolis effect and wound them anti-clockwise. At least I know my credentials to be on the Asylum are genuine and if things don't work out I can try to sell the cables to AndyR and wind another pair the the other way.
