Speaker Wire Gauge Recommendation

If you can thread the cable through a 3/4in. garden hose than it is too small! Size matters - particularly in audio cable. If it appears a good sized Boa is laying across the floor you are heading in the right direction.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Anyway, I use Belden 1311a Brilliance OFC cable, their highest quality copper cable for audio.

Well we are in the new condo for a couple weeks as I've mentioned in another thread. Thus far whilst we wait for the new AV unit that my friend is building for us We have been using the old unit with just a 2.1 set up. The new unit should be ready this weekend and my father is flying up from Ontario in two weeks. Time to get things set up. I got rid of most of my old wire when we moved. Question is, gauge.

Should I be looking at 12 all around or would 14 suffice?

I would say 12 gauge
