| Speaker Wire
Yet another question from a newbie. (Sorry) Does the thickness of wire attached to the speaker from the amp make a difference. I know its different sort/type of `signal` to a cd amp, but on my home hi-fi I have some heavy duty wire (5mm thick strand per lead) running into some Bowers & Wilkins speakers which does sound better than the ordinary thin stuff supplied. Thanks in adavance. |

16 gauge lamp wire. Literally. Since you're dealing with a high current system, you really just need something big that can carry a signal. The smaller the diameter of the wire the more low end you'll lose because of changes in the impudence of the system.
