Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Axiom speaker cable - which termination to get?

TH, if you'll do as Bren suggested and use something like this (or even the plain brown stuff that I use)I promise that I'll protect you from the audiophile police. It might be helpful to study this explanation of speaker wire by a well-respected veteran audio professional.

The 174 wire you show is just single conductor power cable and isn't suitable for your use ; the 155 is okay if that's what you want, but it's a bit of overkill for the short runs that you'll have.

The one reason to use boutique cable is for look.

Which is why I bought Axiom bulk cable... my fiancee thought the pink transparent bulk stuff was ugly, and the Axiom bulk stuff was a few cents more expensive a foot so I got it - other than that - sounds the same, a bit easier to work with (nice and flexible) and has the cool Axiom imprint. Sounds the same as 14-2 romex, though.
