Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Looking for comments on bulk 12 gauge speaker wire

Hi: I am looking to buy two thirty-foot runs of the Axiom bulk 12 gauge wire and I was wondering if anyone here uses this wire, or has used it in the past, would care to comment on it as far as sonics! I have read many comments on their speakers, but can't find too much about their wire! Looking for all comments! Thanks, Huck

It works like any other 12 gauge wire. Or any other wire of the gauge appropriate to the application. Electricity goes through it.

I bought some with the order I just put in and I'll be sure to post opinions. I'm more worried about how easy it is to strip and attach to the speakers/receiver.

WRT sonic differences the majority opinion on this board is that wire is wire, and a 12g wire should be fine for reasonable runs.

Axiom sells good quality cables, but you can just go to a home improvement store like lowes, home depot, menards, etc. Or buy a spool of 12 gauge online. I got mine on Ebay.

The bulk 12 gauge is nice wire, Wired our entire HT with it even though its not in-wall rated (who cares)

Also use it for biwiring my speakers in my other system. Havent bothered with listening comparosons. Its wire, finely stranded copper. Not much more to it

Monster is better than anything...

Monster is the Bose of wiring. They get by on their name alone. There are plenty of better cables-sure they are (at least) a few hundred$ more but they reduce the brightness and increase the soundstage in ways that the monster cables simply cannot do. I've also found that some of the really high end cables 'bleed' less noise over to video and provide a crisper picture, especially for front projection systems.

I pre-wired my room with a 'monster' spool of Home Depot 12 gauge speaker wire ... no video/audio problems whatsoever. Saved a whole heap of change by not buying the name brand stuff.

I'm running for cover now!

I saw a blurb in Scientific American about superconducting wire possibly becoming available in the next ten years or so. I'm leaving everything boxed up until then. I am now shopping for liquid helium tanks.
