Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality?


Increasing speaker cable size (for example w/AQ the cable sizes move up in size from 15AWG to 10AWG) improve sound quality?

sasho...The low end on the primas are on par <> with mogami 3104...mogami have a little more being 8awg cable.Mogamis rock solid lowend with a nice nuetral mids'high's make it a nice quality copper pair of diy wire's.The prima's with the center silver wire and build quality give the Zavfino a more open soundstage...were the mogami is flatter/nuetral side in a good way.

I am glad i did the diy project's to see were these wire's are in performance level to a ready made offering.

In the end the primas are the ones i ended my quest with and are sounding really good.Lowend is there with a nice open soundstage...solid very well thought out / made product,I grew tired of doing my own and was ready to try them.Glad i did,Recommended.Hope this helps.

thanks for reply

looks like Mogami 3104 Is very high value giving price of cable

I thought that Zavfino Prima SC can offer more LF refinement

I ended up using the Townshend F-1 speaker cable. I’m not sure of the gauge but it is the best I have tried. And believe me I have tried a lot.

If you have a speaker that drops down to 2.5 ohms, with an 8 foot speaker cable, going from 18awg to 10awg will increase the level, at that impedance valley, 0.3db, and the damping will go from 24 to 150. Audible? Maybe.  If your speaker only drops to 4 ohms, those numbers are 0.2db and 40 to 250. Audible? Probably not. Those impedance valleys almost always happen at bass frequencies. This is a change from 18awg to 10awg, so a pretty severe change. Small gauge changes will have smaller differences.

How many watts or amps you are pushing out it not the relevant metric. The lowest impedance of your speaker is, though lower impedance means more amps at the same voltage.
