A Guide On Choosing The Best Silver Speaker Wire For Your Audio System

By Anna Hernandez


Commonly, a sound system is consisted of an amplifier and a number of speakers. Most people think that the quality of sound that an audio system could produce will rely on the quality of these components. It may be true that a decent amplifier and an expensive set of speakers will produce good sound but without a quality wire, it will not sound as good as it could. Copper speaker wires are commonly used and are usually supplied with speakers but are just not enough to maximize the potential of an audio set up. This is why a silver speaker wire is a better alternatives.

Consider this situation. Say you are fond of listening to music and preferred listening on high end headphones because of the clarity of sound they could produce. But then you decided to set up a sound system in your house and bought an expensive one to replicate the sound quality you are used to hearing with your headphones. But it was installed, it turned out to be a disappointment for you because you felt the price you invested is not compensated by the quality of sound you were hearing from it.

Whoever is in that kind of position will be disappointed and will think of things like he or she was scammed by the store where the speakers and amplifiers were bought, or think that the components were broken, and other thoughts that are most likely far from the real reason why the sound system did not sound the way they expected it to be. And to think, that only a relatively cheaper component is the reason behind all this.

An expensive set of speakers and amplifier is not what all it takes to have a superb sounding audio system. A quality speaker cable could also make a low or mid end audio set up sound great and this cable should not be expensive either. All you need is a cable with the correct size and you are good to go.

Choosing the best cable size for your audio set up is not that difficult. The American Wire Gauge or just gauge is a measure of the thickness of a cable and ranges from a numerical value of 12 to 16. A higher gauge means a thicker wire and consequently, a higher transmission capacity.

In choosing the best wire gauge, the first thing that needs to be taken into consideration is the quality of your speakers and amplifiers. If yours are used for leisurely listening and does not demand much from your audio set up, then lower gauge wires are enough to enhance your listening experience. But if you like turning your house into a club during house parties, then you will need higher gauges to unleash the potential of your powerful speakers and amplifiers.

The distance between your speakers and amplifier will influence your decision on what wire gauge to buy. The longer cables you lay out, the larger the transmission loss in your system will be so if your speakers are scattered and far from the amplifier, you might want to consider buying cables with a higher gauge.

A properly sized silver speaker wire will save you from spending too much and getting disappointed. So take some time in choosing the best cable for your sound system.
