Hi, guys, My 1st post here and I'm hoping for some opinions that seem to stir the pot so to speak in all forums .Speaker cables.First off, 1. no golden ear here so keep that in mind.2.financial constraints do to retirement leaves little mad money.3.I have heard so many differing views my head is spinning so here goes.
I came across and very cheaply a pair of the vaunted Polk SDA-2B speakers w/ the IC cable and all.All drivers work and in general this are pristine except for the obligatory water plant stain on the tops which are gone now.The right hand speaker is inches away from my amp and the left is about 7' w/ a spred on my seating area of 10' center almost a equi triangle.I currently use 14gu clear for all of my speaker sets and I heard both ways to leave it's just fine for the lenght or oh no you must at least equal the lenths for signal continutiy.
Then we have the deep pocketed people who say I should UPGRADE to Audioquest,Blue Jeans,Signal Cable and so on.To and I think that really w/o investing and maybe trying something like OFC w/ equal lengths and hear a distint difference then I would make the deal.
