RE: Speaker cable recommendations

I got mine from Remington Industries. About 2/3 the price as your source. The coating doesn't really matter that much. Polyamide is for higher temp applications. Personally, I am using 16G despite Satie's comment that is doesn't work as well with high wattage amps and Maggies - my amp produces 500W into 4 ohm. I had used 12G (Anti-cable) but the runs were too short when I got my 3.7i so I went DIY. I do not terminate the wire but do clean the ends about every 3 months with DeOxit. I could not compare the 16 AWG v 12 AWG but I don't think I am losing anything with 16. The thicker gauge has one distinct advantage - it is stiff enough so you can keep it off the ground without using lifters.
