Tips On Choosing The Most Suitable 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 example. Say, you just bought a very expensive audio set up at your local electronics store. Given its price, you were expecting an excellent quality from it but as you crank up the volume slowly, you get a cold feeling that escalates slowly as you turn the volume up. Plainly said, you were disappointed.

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.

First, you need to know is the size of the wire you need. The thickness of the conductive material in a speaker wire is measured by its American Wire Gauge or simply gauge and commonly ranges from 12 to 16. A higher gauge means a thicker cable and a higher transmission capacity.

The first factor that you need to consider is the capability of your speakers and amplifiers. If you use your audio set up to relax by listening to classical music that does not demand much from your speakers and amplifiers, then cables with lower gauges will do the job for you. But if you listen to a wide variety of music and wants to hear every detail in those, then a high end set of speakers, amplifiers, and a thick speaker wire is what you will need.

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.

Giving some thought on choosing the best silver speaker wire for your audio set up will save you money and disappointment. But if you do not want to bother doing this, then buying the most expensive one will not really be a problem, if you have the cash to spend that is.
