In Reply to: What's the smallest wire AWG that you feel confident using for speakers? posted by Quiet Earth on April 1, 2007 at 09:11:36:
You'll be fine with thin gauge.I have used 28g magwire as speaker cables for a long while now with my 86db efficient Maggies with amps from 40wpc to 500wpc into their 4 ohm load. I really like the sound of the thin wire.
The caveat is that the runs have only been 5ft or so.
But, i did have an audio buddy run some "christmass ribbon" from an arts and crafts store (99 cents for 30 ft after the holidays). This is basically fancy ribbon that has some metal wires spaced the width of the ribbon to hold it together. The wires are most likely 24g aluminium. He used this on his Wharfdales and hk amp, and was amazed at how good it sounded compared to his 12g monster. Since he is obvioulsy not an audio phile, i think his runs were well over 5 ft.
You amy want to try some magwire at ratshack ($5) before you order the expensive stuff, just to be safe.
