Wire gauge for RP line


HenrikTJ

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Until recently, I had no idea that different gauge wires had a say in the quality of sound. I haven't gotten the whole gist of it yet, but apparently the impedance of your speakers and length of the wire will dictate what gauge of wire I should choose.

 

As far as i've seen, klipsch speakers (including my own) is compatible with 8 ohm. 

 

Now what wire gauge would be the best pick for my system?

I have just one more question... Will the sound quality be different if one speaker supposedly is that much further away from the others, making me have to get another cable with lower gauge just to adhere to the wire table from the roger-russel url?

How much further away is one from the other?  If one cable run is 2X longer than the other, then I would just use the same gauge cable on both and not worry about the different lengths.  However, if one run is 10X longer than the other, then I would consider some options.  Here is a decent (I think) article I found:  https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-cable-length-differences-do-they-matter
