Product Information

We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. Getting the correct speaker wire gauge is one of the most overlooked but important things to get right. It's important to pick up some UL-rated speaker wire labeled CL2 or CL3 if you need to run wire inside your walls. Judging from everything analyzed above, it can be concluded that it is not necessary to invest in very expensive speaker cables. If you want to install your outdoor speaker wire underground, you'll need wire rated for direct burial.

However, for longer speaker wire runs (to another room, for example), it is better to use a thicker, lower-gauge wire. You can use this distance to determine the wire gauge necessary to get peak performance out of your speakers. KnuKonceptz Kord Ultra Flex 16 Gauge Speaker Wire – over sized Oxygen Free Copper speaker cable provides superior frequency response compared to smaller, conventional speaker wire.To simplify everything we just discussed, for wire gauge it is always safe to go with a thicker cable than thinner but may be more expensive.

And recently, we made a big change with how we sell our wire, with new 100Ft and 250Ft pre-cut and rolled Spools, thus insuring your wire is cut to the correct length in a more neat and user friendly spool.

Each conductor is composed of 112 strands of the finest copper for superb audio accuracy and flexibility. My house was pre-wired with 18 gauge with about 50 runs to some mini Klipsch speakers and that worked. Applying some force is often necessary the first time you're connecting banana plugs to your speakers and receiver. Your mileage may vary depending on what speakers you're using and what receiver you've got pushing them, but I was forever sold on audiophile cables after my experience.
