Just bought several meters of pure copper "speaker wire" (1.5mm) in the hardware store, and they were labeled over and over with warnings like "only to be installed by qualified electricians", "only intended to be used in conjunction with HIGH POWER AMPS", etc. (Germany, for reference, so EU regulations apply).
I ignored them thinking it probably doesn't matter for those two 60W speakers I got lying around, especially if I connect them to a simple 50W fosi amp (by far not a 1000W HIGH POWER amp or anything of that sort).
Now that I actually began wiring up everything I'm not sure sure anymore, though... So, do I need to be any more careful when using PURE copper wires instead of the more common aluminium wires?
For reference, I'm not exactly wiring them up professionally (yet), just using a quick and dirty solution with sticky tape (see pictures). The cabling is fixed to the ceiling with the tape, and goes into the back of a shelf (through a gap in the backside).
