How can I tell?
I can't imagine the cable is marked.
Years ago I had a homemade FRIED Model H subwoofer.
Peerless 85486 drivers IIRC.
I had a ARC D250 MKII and then a Carver LightStar 2.0
I used Fulton Gold speaker wire.
Two pair, paralleled.
A speaker builder/ owner of Carolina Audio called me and said I should
remove the Fulton and replace it with a single strand of cat-5 cable.
I thought he was NUTS!
But I tried it.
My Carolina Audio speakers are wired with a single strand of cat-5 cable.
They are transmission line speakers using a 4" metal driver by Ted Jordan and a 7" metal driver form him also.
Anyway I'd like to try what you've mentioned.
TIA
I went from speaker wire thick enough jump-start a bulldozer to
wire a piece of wire that would of melted if I tried to start that bulldozer.
