DOES SIZE MATTER ?

:shame: STEADY ! Due to a shake up in the household I need to double my speaker cable from 5m to 10m each.

Having read various threads on the matter it seems that it's not too critical.

Does WHF have a view on cable lengths?

Get at least 4mm cable for that length

This should do the job, bear in mind that this is single core, you will need 2 reels to give you 2 x 12.5m speaker cables.

Note that this cable has a maximum rating of 148 amps at 100 volts, that is just under 15 kilowatts. depending on your power amp you may need to double up.

Try it, and let us know what you think.

Long speaker cables work fine in my system. There's a good chance they'll work fine in your system too.

I used two 10m 2.5mm² ordinary copper cables for my bookshelf speakers.

I didn't notice any differences as I shortened them to 4m and 6m.

As lindsayt wrote, just try it.

I've been told that the longer, the better.

Cables, that is.

Who told you that?
