12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?


This week I will get my new (to me) Denon 697ci to drive my Polk 8-T monitors. I have been using heavy gauge (12) speaker wire, but have a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cables coming. Will these cables sound any better than heavy speaker wire?

On another topic, I got this great Pass Labz amp for $129 at Best Buy. It's amazing!

I love it when people come in here to stir stuff up by pretending to play dumb. And then, when they're brought up to to speed by well-intended posters, they just double down and continue to play dumb. This is a worthless thread.

I think you’re giving the OP too much credit.

+ 1 maybe,,,.

It is not impossible that this was just a perverted and  lame thread by a tin hat keyboard kommando .

Disappointing…and if so, the OP will be watched for any repeat offence.

Have been using 12awg speaker wire with what?

 

 

@macg19 -- I'm glad I wasn't the only reader confused by that statement.  The OP said he was getting the Denon soon, and the wording leads you to believe he already had the Polk 8-T's hooked up using 12 gauge wire...but says nothing about his current amp source.  I'm still questioning how a person thinks paying $30 for speaker wire that retails for $1,000 isn't a Red Flag  😂.
