I was just referring to the speaker cable inside the cabinet connected to the output of the built in amp. Output distortions from the amp go input direct to the driver is all. Simple and a small quib but this hobby is gets so darn particular.
Long interconnect or speaker cable
My room configuration requires that my rack is off to the side of my speakers. This means I need to run 20 feet of speaker cable (Wireworld) from my Mc mono blocks. This makes high end speaker cable cost prohibitive.
I was thinking I could move the amps next to the speakers, have short higher quality speaker cables, and then a long run of moderately priced XLR interconnects from my preamp.
So, all things being equal, what’s better for SQ, a long run of lesser XLRs or speaker cables?

Go to Guitar Center, save yourself a couple of bucks. Mogami Gold Neglex Quad Microphone Cable for Studio Neutrik XLR 25 ft. | Guitar Center "Would there be any concern about the vibration of the subs next to the mono blocks? " Oh dear...looks like a case of A.N. Get the cable, enjoy music while staying off audio forums. |
You can use the wire from Mogami like the Neglex Quad 2534 or the Canare version of it and put Neutrik XLR's on each end, these cables and the Neutrik ends are great for these types of applications. You can always wrap the cables with a "flex wrap" that come in a myriad of colors. I have used these types of cables when my mono amps are next to the speakers and preamp is quite a ways away on a side wall. There are companies out there that sell these cables in bulk and some of them will actually assemble a set for you with the Neutrik XLR's. |
