What speaker gauge for my setup?

[JoeE SP9]

The only thing you should be aware of when choosing speaker wire is the length of the run. It doesn't even matter (within reason) if you run different lengths, different brands and so on as long as you use the appropriate gauge for the length of the run. Google 'Roger Russell speaker wire' for a complete faq.

I think people are finally coming around to the fact that speaker wire is speaker wire as long as it is manufactured to industry specifications. Same is true for other audio/video cables.

First, welcome to AR.

There are no industry specifications for any kind of wire speaker or otherwise.

Most of the posters here are familiar with Roger Russell's web site. Most of the same posters don't agree with his methodology, results or conclusions.

People usually eventually come around to the idea that different speaker cables and interconnects sound different. Eventually is the catch word for anyone who steadily improves their system. After a certain point the urge to try different wires and cables raises it's head. When that happens, and it will for most, you are doomed!!!!!
