RE: Any Advice for Black Mamba / MPS Hercules Build?

Posted by Duster on July 24, 2020 at 05:06:42:
Wireworld Eclipse 7 speaker cables along with the Jantzen cables should be impressive. Use the smaller gauge cable for the highs, and the larger gauge cable for the mids and lows.

Keep in mind the Jantzen cables will essentially be serving as an extension of the crossover sections and the internal wiring of the Spendor 100 loudspeakers. Take a look at what they use as internal wiring. Unless there is overwhelming evidence that Spendor loudspeakers sound better with larger gauge internal wiring, I think the solid core Jantzen wire is a safe bet if you seek high-performance spatial cues, while increased body due to larger gauge wiring from a crossover, and for internal wiring is not my idea of improving the application. I'll consider a larger gauge cable to suggest if you would prefer it, Rob.

The NEOTECH NEMOS-5080 OFC Loudspeakers cable 2.10mm� � 12.5mm is a wildcard, since I'm not familiar with it, but it does share a similarity with Wireworld speaker cable designs. The results would be more unpredictable than a pair of single round-shaped solid core copper wires for the application.
