| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need The amount you use is determined by the Cardas triangle. The connectors will determine the AWG of the cable it can accommodate. | |
| Vintage receivers??? I guess I was wrong about the Marantz 240 if 'Kosst "is correct. I suppose that my reliance on units that still function and my inability to do my own repairs, has made me a cheerleader to those that want to or do.I wish I had a repairman (no ben... | |
