geoff wibbled...[QUOTE] the point being that there is no such thing as crosstalk between two speaker wires, the voltage seen at the speakers is just the difference between the two conductors[/QUOTE] Well to be fair that is a fault of the advertising morons rather than the product itself. [QUOTE] Witchcraft aside, the thicker it is (within reason), the better it can handle spikes. If you've paid £1500 for the rest of it, I don't see much sense in saving a couple of tenners on connecting them up[/QUOTE] IIRC even Richer Sounds will rent you a box containing samples (of reasonable length) of the various speaker wires they sell so you can simply let your ears choose.
