I am going to wire up my amp to my old JBL Decade L36 speakers and wanting to use 12 gauge speaker wire.

My question is the difference between solid and stranded copper wire. I know the solid wire is hard to work with but will it work and produce great sound or is stranded wire better?

Also, I've seen advertisements for stranded copper wire that were coated with pure silver. Would this be better to use than plain stranded copper?

The amp I will be using is a McIntosh MC 2205.

Thanks!

Peace!
