Re: What's the smallest wire AWG that you feel confident using for speakers?

Never thought I'd say this but I like speaker cables made from a simple twisted pair of 18 awg, solid core, bare copper w/teflon insulation. For about $15, you can buy a small roll of poly insulated, 7 x 18 awg copper "sprinkler wire", at Lowes (if they still have it...I can't find it on their website any longer) and make up a set of cables yourself. This will give you an idea of how the teflon insulated wire will sound. The teflon wire will be smoother and more bass extension.
