Well thanks again for the replies - the guy said something about the insulation of the wire, he said if it was softer and sort of bend back from being pushed on it helped with the conductivity of the wires, and he said something about phase too lol I cant remember all of it. In general they are really nice guys there thoguh, other than the wire they havent pushed me to buy another more expensive where it didnt need to be - ie I asked them if I should trade up from my AVR225 to the 235 (or was it 230) on display for like 720$ and they said I shouldnt bother, even if the newer ones have Component switching and other fancy features. Besides I like their used stuff They give me deals everytime I go in there and actually take the time to explain everything, pehaps Ill just turn a deaf ear onto them when they start going on about speaker wire?
