In Reply to: Would that apply to 4-way speakers? posted by The Rube on April 19, 2007 at 08:37:34:
Hi Inmates,A little more searching and I found this link from John Risch regarding the use of different cables. Here's the key section:
*Should both cables be the same kind?
This is not absolutely necessary, although it can be argued that certain sensitive speakers need the same exact cable in order to minimize any discontinuities in the midrange (crossover region). However, as long as both cables are of a high quality, this is much less of a problem than it might seem. An extreme example would be to use heavy gauge zip cord for the woofer, and an exotic high performance cable for the highs. Some audiophiles have used this approach to great effect, and others found the zip cord on the woofer holding them back. It never hurts to try, and see how well a particular pairing will work for you.
