Speaker Cables


Speakers cables with best synergy with ProAc D30Rs? Two sets of cables vs one pair with jumpers? Thank you.

For your speaker wiring project look at this:

Especially check the current rating on it. It indicates 124 Amps for 8 AWG wire.

The amperage rating of this wire is a testament to its low resistance.

As for inductance & capacitance, for the very short runs of cable you are likely to have inside a speaker cabinet, they will not be significant.

Its max working temperature of 390 F is also worth considering since it will not be a fire starter should something go wrong inside your enclosure.

You will be hard pressed to find something along the same lines for that quoted price.

I have no experience in rewiring a speaker and would follow deconny's advice. Both my Tonian Labs TL-D1 and Clearwave Duet 6 speakers were internally wired with Supra and they sounded great.

It's just with speaker cables that I eventually passed on the Supras with.

All the best,

Surely Duelund or Neotech.  Partsconnexion has Duelund hookup wire, Take Five Audio has Neotech.
@jjss49 - I experienced problem using a heavy gauge (i.e. thicker than 18 gauge) solid Hookup wire for my speakers.

I do realize that solid is better than stranded wire, but if your crossover is mounted on PCB like mine, there is the possibility that the copper trace on the PCB could separate from the board and break. I suffered this issue many years ago. I changed to stranded

There are some very good stranded wires out there e.g. my favorite, Neotech UP-OCC copper or UP-OC silver

If the Crossover is point to point wiring then it might not be an issue

Tannoys have 5 binding posts, the 5th for ground...did I ground mine? Yup! Did it make a difference? Hell if I know....😁
Biwired with QED Silver Anniversary XT biwire. Saving for 2 pair of Auditorium 23's to biwire in future...$3000.
