Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater axiom speaker cables

Has anyone tryed these yet?? How do they stack up?

Personally, I am a believer that expensive speaker cables are mostly voodoo. Go to Home Depot, get a 250 foot roll of 12 guage speaker wire for $63, and put the connector of your choice (I prefer banana plugs) on the ends. You'll have enough wire to make speaker cables for your entire home theater system!

well yea theres no way i would be considering there wires if i was going to use them for an entire HT setup. But for my 2 channel system which i only need 2 9 foot cables the price isn't to unreasonable, they also look verywell built.

I like them, they look very nice. I have Liberty 12ga now and Axiom cable looks very similar. A lot of people say that it doesn't matter and you don't gain anything. I agree, but I hate clear wire, and your wires definitly are noticed when your showing the system off. Most don't look at them, but to some it's worth it. I also like Black Box wire, they have the best warranty, fido protection.

Axiom cables are fairly priced, and they cover shipping.


It's mainly personal preference.

I'll be ordering some this week, and I'll be sure to post my impression.:)

I agree Rick, even if I could hide all the clear wires I'd still know they were there and I hate that look. Sort of like wearing a cheap tie with a good suit, doesn't feel right.

All in all it's very much a personal thing, boring world if we all had the same opinions.

Hi thom,

No voodoo claims for "stunning improvement in inter-transient silences" or other dubious stuff, but each conductor has 369 strands. It is very high quality and very low resistance. Our bench measurements show a resistance of 0.003 ohm per foot, so you won't waste any amplifier power heating up your speaker cables!

Regards,

thank you alan for the info its nice to know that they will help me get all the performance that i can out of my amp with a price that is resonable. I think we all know from the prices of there speakers that axiom supplies good product for great prices. I assume that in this case its no difference. I will also be ordering a pair to go with my nad c320bee that i will getting for christmass i am sure they will be a step up from the 16 gauge clear crap cable i have now

Well if this can help you any I just bought some Monster Cable Z1 speaker wire, with a retail price of 6$ a foot. One of the things to keep in mind here is both wires for the front speakers have to be the same lenght, regardless of how much you really need per side. They made a huge difference, and the claim that the sound is warmer and the bass is deeper is true. To each is own I guess. I have Energy C-5 towers and an Axiom VP-50 center, combined with QS2 rears and an Energy sub. Sounds amazing now.

My .02 cents.

Uh-oh! TAKE COVER!!!!
