Ok I have 6 tube amps all sound great.I use 10 gauge and 12 gauge speaker wire.Our ears only hear so much in a certain range.if you think that 6,000 cables sound better ,Good for you spend your money.Sometimes I feel like some rich audio piles think the more I spend,.The more I will make my system sound better than anyone else.Thats not always true.But most of these guys ,I feel listen to there systems with wallet ears.
Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable?
I’ve been trying to google this but I only get vague answers.
I want to know if I can use 24 gauge cable as speaker cable. And if not: why not?
Usual answers are “no, you should use xx gauge”, but I’m looking for why is that? Will the speakers of the amp go off in flames if the resistance is too high? I don’t even get that because the resistance isn’t even that much of a difference between speaker cable sizes, compared to the speakers resistance.
I’m talking about ca 16ft / 5m distance between amp and speaker. By the way should that measure 16 ft or double (32ft because one cable is plus and the other minus)?
