Re: Speaker cables for tube amps
I would base my speaker cables on what I paid for the speakers, basically, and also what speakers you have, and gear. Synergy is very important, really no wild ass guess's, certain cables match real well with certain gear. Experience, is everything. "Are You Experience". I run SynergisticResearch Element Copper Speaker Cable 6ft. That is a really good price point for my speakers, I believe.

Re: Speaker cables for tube amps
Speaker cables have more to do with length and the impedance curve of the connected loudspeakers.
Note that there are some weird amplifiers that have special cable requirements.

Because I'm a client of Topper Jewelers, they gave me a 20% discount off the retail price, so paid USD $440 for this watch. As for TAG Heuers, I lost interest in the brand when they started...
