What internal wiring to use for speakers?

[AJ Bertelson]

I am going to building a set of Proacs over the summer and rite now I use some 12 gauge wire to connect the speakers to the amp.

I see Teflon mentioned from time to time but I wonder why not just use the same wire that I will be connecting the amp to my speakers for the internal stuff.

I ask this question because on the DIY Proac 2.5 site they mention that I should use he internal cable is Bandridge Superflex OFC LC 7403.

I did a bit of searching and it looks like these topics get flamed from time but I would really like to know why the 7403 is recomended.

You'll get plenty of replies that suggest that the insulation should not be teflon but the flaxen hair of a maiden.

I vote for 18 ga. zip.

the flaxen hair of a maiden.

Pff, Neanderthal.
Nothing less then the freshly shorn hair from unborn sheep will suffice...


Or some 18ga hookup wire.

Presumably as a clone its similar to the original wire.
