DJE,

Axioms are very well engineered speakers. They are designed and evaluated at the factory using double-blind testing. If the designers felt that the wire they were using degraded the sound quality, then I'm sure they would have made a change.

Rest assured that the wire is physically end electrically up to the task. Also keep in mind that the length of the wire has a lot to do with its performance. Since internal wiring is all short, this further reduces the chance that it will negatively affect the sound.

(If you hang around here long enough, you'll see that wiring is a touchy subject. )
