16awg wire vs 14awg wire

[Kishore0416]

Hi All,

I came across diffeent speaker cable types recently.

Wanted to know if using different wires will have any impact on audio quality. Please advise.

Should i be using 14awg for better audio quality?

Try this article and the wire table it contains. It's about length of the run of wire and the resistance of the wire, generally addressed by picking an appropriate gauge.

Choosing the Right Speaker Wire Gauge for Optimal Performance

We discuss speaker wire gauge and how to choose the best audio cables based on your loudspeaker impedance and distance to your amplifier to achieve best performance.

-14-or 12 is best , 16 I’f your not using Long runs but thicker better .

My recommendation is the same as Lovinthehd. Buy the minimum cable thickness required for run length. Going over that minimum requirement does NOT have any impact on sound. Please stay away from the expensive audiophile cables and interconnects because they offer NO SONIC BENEFITS and are very expensive; basically stealing your money.
