Re: Internal wire for speakers
Internal speaker and amp wiring is very short. NVA speaker cables are not from a reel they are made up from a number of cores. So are built to the length ordered, it would be impossible to feck around with small lengths just for internal wiring. I use the cable listing I gave you for flexible connections, for all others I use 14 16 and 18 SWG (depending on where used) TCW for the wiring that doesn't have to move. For example http://www.rapidonline.com/cables-conne ... wire-62485.
So solid bar if I can and flexible if I can't in both amps and speakers.

Re: Internal wire for speakers
Would this be the same/similar to the wiring of my 90's Cube 3's, Doc?
Looks to be a single silver(?) strand.

Re: Internal wire for speakers
I don't remember, anyway those speaker had been well fecked around with before you got them. If you like what they sound like don't change it. A foot or two of cable is pretty meaningless unless it is really crap cable like bell wire.

Re: Internal wire for speakers
This explains most of the whys, but this was 1992 I think so some things have changed as in full acrylic cases and ClassII construction but the cable reasoning is the same.

Re: Internal wire for speakers
Remember reading that years ago - The above interview and yer old site, was what prompted me to check out NVA gear.
Glad I read it's saved me a wee fortune.

Re: Internal wire for speakers
But would any speaker not sound better if it was the same wire from amp to speaker instead off say one make off wire in amp ;;one from amp to speaker sockets ;; then from speaker socket to speaker cone so three different makes\grade off wire
