Speaker Cables - Long Run

I make my own using CAT 8 cable. 24 gauge x 8 strands is 15 awg. 8 x 26 is 17 awg

I use different colors for +/-, easy to know at either end.

wrap for 3 feet, tape; wrap other direction 3 feet, tape, change direction ....: avoids having to constantly flip the long cable every turn if all wrapped the same direction.

need flat?

cut connectors off, add spades/bananas etc.

note: check both conductor and connectors for pure copper (you will cut off the connectors), some only the connectors are pure copper

Agree with erik-squires...the 3104 is a bargain cable that is just that.The cable needs hours of running in...but pays off with a honest timber,some of the best bass in budget/speaker wire world ive heard.

There is the canare 4s11.

Furez 4/14 quad...which is a nice constructed + super reasonable.

If you really want to use, bi-wire to its full potential, and do you have two sets of terminals on your speakers, Macintosh just announced that they’re selling their MC252 amplifier with hybrid drive(this is amplification designed for bi-amping) online from authorized dealers. It sounds like they may be having a sale on these amplifiers. They are the only brand I know of that makes a single amplifier with two sets of terminals that is designed as for a tube sound on your meds at highs and solid-state amplification for your lows. I have buy amped for years and can honestly say it does make a nice difference at higher volumes. If you don’t listen at higher volumes, it’s not worth the trouble. Anyways, that’s my two cents. Hope it helps.

You should take the extra money that you spend on the Biwire configurations and just buy regular single wire speaker cables. Buy wire makes absolutely no difference at all you’re wasting your money.

I agree! See below:

All - Thank you for your suggestions!

I wish I could locate my amps next to the Quatros but simply can’t (a family matter :-) Therefore, I’ve taken notice that single wire runs will do the job and that opens up a lot of possibilities. Furthermore, thank you for recommending specific brands to consider.

Good listening,

Randy
