Volleyguy1,
Jetrexpro is speaking about WE16ga as interconnect wire in his latest statement above, not as speaker wire; Jet is bravely conducting a few experiments.
Also, I would like to point out all comments are not created equal. You must separate the "chaff from the wheat" to use a hackneyed, yet true expression. In this hobby your own ears and subjective connection to the music/sonic attribute is what matters.
I am going to stick my neck out and make a bold statement, albeit not the first one to do so: it's about connecting to the music; not the sound. It's about the whole Megillah/enchiladas; not the individual parts. Exhibit A: you're at a classical concert featuring Bach sitting in row M. The concert is great, the players, the Conductor, everything just clicked this evening, Bach was masterfully played a once in a lifetime performance. The concert audience roared their approval with a number of standing ovations. After the concert the music lover, still exhilarated, wax with enthusiasm about the music, the emotion of the performance, how wonderful it was, how the Orchestra and Conductor played their hearts out. Bravo! The music lover's friend, an Audiophile chimes in, yeah, I heard the second violinist chair squeak in Prelude in E flat minor. Do you think we heard enough hall sound and decay of notes? In retrospect I don't think there was good imaging, or separation of instrument, something odd, the music seemed to come at you as a whole piece. I think that is what mono sounded like.
A bit of hyperbole; but I think you know the direction I am headed?
