Magnet Wire Question

Rax, thanks, they are enamel coated, thankfully. I read about spacing runs in a thread- may have bi wiring based comment.

Al, the speakers are Usher CP6311. (87 sens and a nominal 8 ohm load)

If thicker gauge would be better, I'll buy it. What gauge do you recommend to insure I give the magnet wire a fair shot?

Also, I heard a suggestion to use an electric drill to twist the wires. Is that the best way you know of?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I tried some solid core in a woven jacket and it opened the sound up over the stranded I had in place. Curious what the minimal coated magnet wire will sound like. I tend to prefer lean over thick sound.

Best-
Gary

Al,

Thanks for the info. Way over my head, but I get the idea.

I'll go with 16ga and make a jumper with a length of the same wire.

Looking forward to giving it a whirl-

Kind regards,

Gary

Hi,

Good question. I can buy 120' of 14ga magnet wire for around $20. I thought it would be a relatively cheap way to try out the concept in more than one setup.

Maybe I can use it in my bedroom long term if nothing else.

Thanks,
Gary

Thanks for the input! That's what I like about an inexpensive opportunity.

I'll try some different options-

For anybody interested, I made the 14 ga magnet wire cables today- sounds good to me...

I posted details in the cable section earlier, may take a while to show up.

Thanks for your help-
