Compare Speaker Wire — Side-by-Side Specs
Speaker wire comparisons reduce to gauge (AWG) and run length. 16 AWG is fine for most runs under 50 feet at 8 ohm nominal loads; 14 AWG for longer runs or 4 ohm speakers. Stranded copper conducts identically to solid for audio frequencies. Oxygen-free copper (OFC) branding adds cost without measurable audible benefit in double-blind tests. Buy in-wall rated (CL2/CL3) if running through walls for fire code compliance.
