Has Anyone Used 6AWG Wire For Speaker Cable?


I see Bound For Sound is using it in the Big Rig. I am using it and think it works great. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with it good or bad?

Thanks, Freemand. I found some copper lugs at a hardware store, which involved cutting them into spades, tough crimping, but they work. They sound pretty good, but, like Xiekitchen, I have gone to Cardas (Golden Reference). Like all insane audio ratios, 20X more expensive and maybe 25% better............in smoothness, refinement and maybe a little definition..... oh, well. But for $50 for 4 X 14 foot runs of 6AWG cable, quite a bargain. Better than the $300-$400 silver-copper hybrids for my HF when bi-amped.
Springbok, thats good to hear. I would say give them at least 200 hours of break in and make sure you have them twisted every 8 to 10 inches.

I have not tried anything else yet cause I know at this price they are sweet.
I am using it in my Virtual Dynamics Genesis cables and there is no harshness anywhere to be found.Cheers ennis
Hi Freemand
Virtual dynamics uses solid core copper wire that gets extensive vibrational treatment.All cables need to be treated for bad vibes.Take care Dennis
