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

Mr. stevcham

Sorry, if it wasn't humor!

Current always goes one way, never flows in close loop. How could I miss that lesson in engineering? That’s the very basic. Way before Kirchhoff's circuit laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff%27s_circuit_laws

Single speaker cable sounds way better than two wires (red and black). Its SNR is phenomenal. It is hard to find those days' speakers and amplifiers with two binding posts per channel.

Impedance is very important when two separate cables are used. I wonder if you took the time to read my say about it on this thread.

Mr. batenet

Sorry for the "A". I'm still waiting to be answered about the DF of your amp. Most likely it will arrive after the weekend.

Could you please elaborate regarding your amplification configuration? That might have some significance on the recommended cables. 

10 mono blocks…?

Thanks.

I just want to listen to my music. I like what Steve said. And I dont want to spend a ton of cash on cables. I do understand powering my equipment.  Mainly the amp. I have 4 double gang boxes on the back wall, each is a 20 amp circuit. So my amp is dedicated to a single circuit. I will eventually use a 12 awg cord to get the full power from the circuit.  I do understand one thing about electric,  the long you run the thicker the awg. 12/2 is in the wall and going any larger will not get me anymore power. Actually it would be dangerous to go a higher awg off the wall, don't want to heat up the lines in the wall. 20 amp from the breaker is all u will ever get and 12/2 is the feed. 12/2 does have distance limits. Unless u have 10/2 or 8/2 in your walls which no homes have except for dryers, ovens. Or you ran your own wiring. I know we are talking about speaker wire. But I thought I would throw in my electrical experience.  My 2 cents.

Mr. ppc67
This thread is about speaker cables. I would prefer not to open her a discusion on electrical wiring in the walls. Please fell free to open your own thread. Thanks.
