Best speaker wiring

Thanks for your ideas/suggestions/opinions.

It seems to me there is no absolute in wiring, and anything could be good or bad depending upon your components and/or your ears. And, why are people concerning about wiring?

Part of the answer would be based on the binding posts on the back of your amp. I would, and have bought the internally bi-wired with two going into four at the speaker.

I'm sorry but the suggestion of using zipcord is just stupid. If you don't care how your system sounds why would you buy anything other than a boombox. I don't know who would benefit from such a foolish suggestion???

I have used all kinds of speaker cable including zipcord (a long time ago) and have found speaker cable and good interconnect to be one of the cheapest upgrades possible regardless of the price of the better cables. It would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to match the improvement of cables if you were to buy electronics instead.

Listen to lots of cables and buy the best one you can afford, or justify.

I believe Focal, who manufacture some very fine speakers, has the understanding that it does not make a difference. From the Focal site:

"BI-WIRING STEREO LOUDSPEAKERS

Bi-wiring has now been phased out on all Focal speakers. Rather than investing in a function that has become unnecessary (our OPC filters have been designed to do away with bi-wiring), we opted to use our new top of the range cast-moulded, insulated, ribbed terminals to ensure a tight clamping torque."

In fact I use Focal in my entertainment room [Video enjoyment] and the speaker only have on set of wire connections. Just get a decent set of wires

number 5 is the best
