Help me find a suitable speaker cable for my all McIntosh system
I have only auditioned AQ speaker cables and the ones I like cost too much. I would like to keep my purchase under 5500 or much less if possible. My speakers are BW 800d3. Silver seams to make a bigger difference than all copper IMO w/AQ cables.
I build my own speaker cables using Cat 8 OFC this is all black,
8 strands 22 awg equivalent to 13 awg 8 strands 26 awg equivalent to 17 awg https://www.wirebarn.com/Combined-Wire-Gauge-Calculator_ep_42.html I found and used black and red; twist them, put WBT connectors |
@elliottbnewcombjr So the question becomes, what do you do with the other $5400? 😂 |
bigtwin1st build a few pairs (that speaker can be bi-wired or bi-amped) using cat 8. then compare any and every other cable to them. Make sure you can return the $5,400. cable(s) you buy. Next: any recommended upgrade to the crossovers? Spend the rest on content! Thank me now or later!!!!
