Speaker cables

[Yéyé]

Hello everyone,
Is it good idea to replace the original speaker câbles supplied with the WIIM amp ?
Which model is compatible ?
Thanks in advance,

Buying cheap cables that look expensive makes this discussion unbelievable. I actually use better cables. It's worth it.

What are you referring to? Be clear instead of cloudy.

I don't think the brand of speaker cable matters at all. Comparing expensive cables with cheaper ones has shown absolutely no difference for me. Cable length and cross-section are crucial. In my case, it's about 4 meters long with a cross-section of 3.5 mm. Pure copper. I paid maybe €80 for it.My speakers: Nubert Nuvero 11. I hear perfectly.

I actually just use 3 standard 220 Volts wires in parallel. That just as good.

This used to be recommended by the magazines back in the day

This is a good speaker cable for 10 ft:

I bought my cables from Blue Jeans Cable -- they will use the gauge of Belden cable you choose, cut to the length requested, with the connectors of your choice ultrasonically welded (not soldered) to the cable. You can even choose different connectors for each end of the cable. In summary, they have quality cables of the exact length you need with the right connectors at a reasonable price.

A speaker cable discussion in a budget amp class makes not much sense… two wires of appropriate diameter, twisted and of good copper quality, should be the way to go. Canare, Mogami or Sommer cable used in professionel applications is a good choice. Add some low mass beryllium copper bananas and you are done.
