Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners speaker wire

Does speaker wire make a difference in the sound of your speakers?I bought some of the Axiom wire for my new M60s,does this wire work well for these speakers?

The 12 gauge speaker wire axiom sells will be perfect for your speakers. There are alot of people who believe speaker wire and cables as a whole can make a difference. And I am certainly with them in that they can make a difference. But what I have noticed is that if there is a difference its usually so small that the average person wont notice or wont care. There are just as many people who believe cables make no difference whatsoever and will use anything that can conduct electricity for speakerwire.

Axioms wire is high quality and there is no reason for you to spend any more unless you want something thats a little better looking or has terminated ends. Unless their terminated wire is what you bought already.

Speaker wire.

Speaker wire is only relevant to sound if you are using too small a gauge wire for the length of the run. The Axiom 12 gauge wire is very good wire(I have some too). You would notice a difference jumping from say.... 20 gauge wire and using the 12 gauge the Axiom wire. The bass would be improved the most and some say the highs are also noticeably improved.

When I recently replaced my 16 gauge zip cord(only 8ft run) with the axiom wire, I would swear the bass and lower mids had more presence to them, but it was tough to really tell, no A/B switching done, so it may have just been psychoacoustic (I wanted to hear a difference so I did), although I didn't believe it would make a difference in the first place. I thought the Axiom wire would be nicer to look at, and it's stamped with Axiom, so it has the factor, which is the main reason I bought it.

Thanks guys.By the way my m6os sound, the wire is fine.I have been listening to my new m60s everyday since I received them.I am still kicking my self for listening to Bose for all those years and missing out of hearing real music.

Another Bose convert, welcome to the club.(yes, I had some too)

I started with the 501s for then went to accoutimass.Yes I listen to Bose for 25 years too long.chris

You went from bad to terrible. I sure loved how the port on my 601SII could pop a paper ball way up in the air though :-).

Thats funny.
