Is rewiring worth it considering...



My question surrounds rewiring. Why bother?

Let me explain my point by following a signal path:

First, a nice thick speaker cable connects to the terminals. But the second it crosses the terminals threshold, a thin little circular spade is sandwiched between 2 screws which is attached to a rather thin wire. This thin wire goes to the crossover (again attached with a thin spade) which is then distributed across a circuit board that is even thinner than the thin wire, into caps and inductors with non copper ends, etc.

From here more thin stainless steel spades to wires and onto the actual drivers, again spades and then an very thin wire into the actual driver itself where the wire spun around the voice coil is thinner than every part of the signal path so far.

So, long winded, but here is my point: why bother rewiring when all you will end up with is a point where the internal wiring will get very thin and you cant do anything about it?

Isn't this akin to having a 40 lane highway bottleneck into a 2 lane road when it reaches the woofer's voice coil?

I'm just a guy trying to make sense of something that doesn't.

Good luck with that......let me know how you make out.
The European Union set up a multipartite committee to solve a serious problem with international implications. The members wrangled for hours, trying out different tactics and approaches. Eventually the English member proposed a solution which everyone found quite practical and all agreed that this would be their recommendation. But at the last moment the French participant stood up and said, "This is all very well in practice--but how will it work in theory?"
Each of the "(thin) wires / spades / metals" you describe has electrical characteristics introduced into the circuit you describe. As you doubtless know, these affect the electrical energy reaching the speaker driver which produces sounds our ears understand...:)
By changing some of the components in the circuit you describe, you (may) change the characteristics of the electrical signal (energy) reaching the driver -- thereby altering the sonic result...

Gregm,

Yes, thats exactly my point. When you pass thru these smaller wires and spades, dont you wreck the quality of the signal thru the large cables?
