I have a new roll of Trisonic 100-ft. 16 gauge oxygen-free wire that I haven't opened yet, but I'm worried that I may have wasted my money.on it. What do you think?
Does expensive speaker wire sound better?
Depends how your power your amplifier is. I would recommend up grading if your trying to power a subwoofer, or bigger home theatre towers with that wire, but your wire will be fine regular bookshelf speakers. Anything under 100W, your wire will be ok.
Electronic stores love telling you that you need a bigger gauge wire, since the markup on it is like 300%. I have a 100W guitar amp that has (at best) 16 gauge wire, to power a single speaker.
Don't forget too, it's only the amount of surface area that matters, not the gauge. Some expensive 16 guage wire will have more single strands (which means more surface area). Electrons travel around the wire, not inside.
