RE: TG Audio speaker cables and directionality

Posted by geoffkait on August 13, 2022 at 14:39:54:
No, you're incorrect. And don't put words in my mouth. This is not semantics. Put your listening ears on.
It's the moving electric field interacting with the permanent magnet that makes the speaker diaphragms move in and out. The E field that moves toward the speaker on each wire + and -. The electric field moving toward the speaker on wire + makes the diaphragm move out, the electric field moving toward the speaker on wire - makes the diaphragm move in. Each wire Carrie's half the complete audio waveform. That's why both wires + and - need to be controlled for directionality by ensuring their "best direction" is toward the speaker. Not as Bob Crump described. This is also why fuses have their best orientation such that the best direction is *toward the speakers* on whichever wire it's attached to. "Current toward speakers."
