No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need


It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

What you say, when I'll here it, I'll know it is. Till than, just going in circles, spending money and enjoy the journy. Hope you are not on the same page on other subjects, as health.
Hmmm, I thought it was calculate, but see your point.  Always glad to see your posts, BTW.

You say: "Tell me what brand and model your amp. and speakers are, what is the distance between them - and I'll calculate for you what cable is required".

OK, give us an example.  Pick a popular integrated amp, a popular set of speakers, and a typical distance, and calculate away.
