No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this! Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup? I think I've figured it out.
The Lyngdorf 2170 is a digital Amp. par excellence! those usually
come with high DF. Very high...(theoretically something like 5,000!) on other
posts (private one) an other maker would recommend of an equivalent DF of
1,000. However you've been told that it has a DF of 100. It is a 10x ratio
difference!
As so, I would go for your cables in two options that you will have to make up
your mind, and take a decision of which one you like to believe to
For 20 ft long:
For a DF of 100 it would be a 1 AWG (I would take a 0 AWG that is more popular
to find and work with)
For a DF 1,000 it would be a 4x 0 AWG in parallel, or 2x 4/0 (0000)
AWG in parallel. This is a very thick and heavy cable.
The set would be over 40Lb. I doubt if you can do a DIY cable of such size.
If the 100 is your choice, and the real DF is more like a 1,000, you are
still at enjoying only 50% of your system. If your choice is the 1,000 whatever
the trouble to get it, you will end up with the right cable, of way more (not
really required) and expensive cable. Up to you!
For your 10ft. length it is between 1 AWG and 2 AWG. You may adopt one
of the 0 AWG DIY that was brought up along this thread (parts source and labor methodes).
For some reason he is not mentioned on this site. (Mr.) Alon is
an Israeli name and they have a dealer in Israel too. I know that they earned
over night a great reputation with their speakers. On my 3rd seminar
held here in Israel, Mr. Tamam lectured on his vision of building a speaker…it was in
2001.
