12AWG speaker wire

From the test build I've made, the thinner the wire the better was the bass spectrum. My understanding is that the thinner the wire the more the whole cable act as a solid cables because the strands are more in electrical contact with each other as opposed to larger strands. Being more stiff, the larger strands will push off each other resulting in a sound more akin to a litz cable configuration.

Resistance of wire is not linear, at low frequency it is function of the diameter of the wire and as frequency rises inductance takes over and the resistance rises. A larger diameter conductor will reduce the low frequency resistance, shifting the tonal response toward the lows end.

Thanks for your responses and the input ,                                                                                       I just ordered some Mystarsound 12-2C . This was the 65 strand 12AWG.

Sounds like that will due as budget speaker cable. If you have speakers an an audio system that is focused on high sound quality. Then you need to look at high quality speaker cables manufactured in descrete lengths for the specific purpose. These will cost many hundreds or thousands of dollars. I have a very high end system, mine cost nearly $5K. The ones I had for the previous 30 years cost $3.5K. I would think of them as an active component in your system. 5 - 10% the value of your system. 

@petg60  What does triple C stand for?  I know OCC is Ohno Continuous Cast.  The Furutech mentioned above combines OCC with DUCC.  I don't know what DUCC is either.  Does anyone know?

I understand OFC, OCC, UP-OCC, after that I could care less. I have a buddy that paid 10K for OFC/teflon/tungsten. They still sound great. He tried to sell them for 2K not even an offer. I'm very sure after new terminal ends, and adding a construct or two, they would be right up there with other great cables. The great thing about some older cables they are broke in and just need a little TLC. Terminal ends that are pressure welded with contact enhancers were rare 20 years ago. You can DIY for the cost of a few tools now.. Graphene dust, 2 ounces will last a lifetime for cable building. 50.00 dollars..

It's not what you use as much as how you use it..

williewonka used OFC at one point.. They were still great cables.. Some were wound the wrong direction, they still sounded good.. :-)
