Kimber 8TC beater?

Ok ... I have a serious question. Was thinking about this after my last post.

Why wouldn't heavy gauge romex (say 10 or 12 gauge), which is solid copper I believe, make a good speaker cable. Not trying to be simple. It is a sincere question.

Thanks everyone for all your input. It would certainly be great if the Mogami 3104 (low price) is what I am seeking. As mentioned...I will be using speaker cables as a "tone control". If I can't get a fuller and bigger sound (image size and soundstage)...will probably be getting new speakers as a last resort. Btw...also want to avoid cables which are tilted towards the top end...ie...cool side of neutral. I always felt that the Hyperion 938 sounded constricted, thin and "small".

Anyways...anyone compared the mogami 3104, kimber 8tc and morrow? How about Grover Huffman?

I guess it's all relative. "Good" can be construed in different ways. It can mean 'sufficient' or 'decent' or 'OK' as in 'good enough'. Or like many companies products where they have a good, better and best quality of the same item where 'good' denotes their bottom line. I would imagine standard romex would not require the purest copper whereas the better speaker cable uses ultra or hyper-pure, perfect-surface, or whatever terminology the manufacturer uses for extremely pure, continuous cast copper. And of course there is the dielectric and other insulation materials used. And then again I'm sure many feel there is no difference so you pretty much have to go on faith or try it yourself.

sorry....that last response was to bifwynne

in my experience Morrow IC (all three) had a huge soundstage maybe the speaker wire does too

all it cost to try them is shipping one way (if I remember correctly)
