I decided to replace the 35 year old internal wire in my CW1s. I used 16awg copper wire from Radio Shack. The speakers sound a little clearer in the highs, but the mids do not seem as smooth and the sound seems to be lacking in weight. I know any wire takes time to break in, but I'm starting to wonder if the speakers will ever sound right with the new wire.
What I'm looking for is suggestions on what gauge and what type of wire to use(silver,copper,solid core, etc.) that might be better than what I used.
