8 gauge vs 10 gauge OF speaker cable

Hi,

I got a question regarding speaker cables. Is there any difference between 8 gauge and 10 gauge. The length of the cables are around 7 feet. Also, what is the different between tin coated OFC and regular OFC speaker cables? I heard the tin one has better sound.

Thanks,

Steven

In my experience, gauge of cable is not the determining factor for performance.

8 gauge is going to be pretty hard to work with.

Either one is overkill for the length of the run. Are you running 1000 watt amps into an inefficient load and listening at 100db or more?

The right tool for the job always works best. You don't use a sledge hammer to drive home a finishing nail.
