RE: Loudspeaker Cabling?

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

It's the law of diminishing returns.

I have "good" cables on my main system, and less-expensive ones
on the subsidiary systems.

After all, in the nursery, where the only sound source is a Rio, I'm not
actually going to buy OFC speaker cable :-)



As ever, whenever you're considering whether to buy a hi-fi upgrade / tweak
/ etc., the key advice is LISTEN TO IT IN YOUR SYSTEM. If you can hear a
difference, and you like that difference, and you think the different is
worth the money, then buy it :-)

However, just because someone can't hear a difference in your system,
doesn't mean that they have the right to generalise and make claims that
the upgrade / tweak etc. is a waste of money.



Think of it like cars - I _have_ installed an expensive racing exhaust
system on my "8", because it makes a difference (noise and
performance.) My brother, OTOH, hates driving cars, and most of his cars
cost LESS than the exhaust system I fitted (he's a biker, BTW, and his BIKE
is another story...)

Would he consider fitting a raching exhaust system to his car? No! Does he
understand why we've fitted it to ours? Yes! If only people could discuss
hi-fi with the same tolerance :-)

That's fine.
But usually when people watch movies in surround environment they want it
in
high quality where speaker connections and wiring matters. Connecting
them
this way would not be considered as Hi-Fi (shortest speaker cables, no
extra
connectors, golden plated connectors soldered with silver rich solder
etc.
depending how far into extreme you would like to go).
Ask Mr. Harrison if you don't beleive me.
Therefore, I don't see much point, but if you're happy...
Cheers,
Nik
