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.

Sorry, the one you see serves my friend in Vancouver BC. If you live nearby, I can get you acquainted.

I have no pictures of that as I never thought to be asked for.

The wire between the thick 0 AWG cable and the banana plug is of 8 AWG. I really believe that this banana plug is the best possible electrical and physical way to connect between it and a binding post.

The banana plug is soldered thoroughly to that 8 AWG wire. 100% of its inside perimeter and 100% of the 8 AWG wire for the entire common length (about 2cm long).

The other end was soldered to the spade (cable shoe) that is of way thicker and more firm than the one Mr. keppertup has. It is soldered on both sides of the shoe (over the center hole). The shoe is crimped on two presses with a 70 DIN size tool.

Than the ends were worn, with a black sleeve (larger diameter) on the thick cable, the shoe and the edge of the 8 AWG cable. A second sleeve (white) is covering that edge and all the 8 AWG wire and secures (permanently) the banana plug sleeve from open.

This structure ensures the best electrical and mechanical construction, and it is very strong. It took me a while to figure it out…For the record, I also have a perfect solution to use two and four 0 AWG wires in one cable, for those who really need that.



Audioquest checks in on the dodgy subject of bi wiring,

B4icu, by the way, as instated previously, you don’t seem to know what bi wiring actually is. 


Mr. geoffkait

Did you notice that the bottom of your ref. was written or approved by AudioQuest that is a cable maker? Do I need to explain you why Bi-wires are better for AudioQuest than a single wire? (I'll give you a clue: they make double the money on bi-wire).
Would I base an argument on a biased quote with interest, rather a scientific approach?
I rather stick to my explanation (technical, supported by electronics knowledge and proven by simulation) than your lovely words that guide nowhere. Do you still believe that the earth is flat?

Your lovely description of bi wire could be also applied to a chair or a table. It would work the same.

Yes, exactly! Audioquest is a cable maker. And you are not. Polk is a speaker maker and you are not. Definitive Technology is a speaker maker and you are not. See the pattern? Furthermore, there is no financial advantage for a speaker company or an audiophile magazine editor to promote bi wiring. Hey-loo!
Mr. geoffkait

All the respected makers you have mentioned above have an interest. They make a living out of that, the more they sale the better. That’s called a biased testimony.

I don't.

See the pattern?
