Let’s talk speaker wire and terminating, eh?
Any particular gauge any of you run, or is it just whatever is lying around…Furthermore, when you’re terminating your wires, do you solder the ends before attaching banana plugs and whatnot?
Thoughts on CCA vs. solid copper?
As for me, the “bench tech” in me has always soldered the ends with some added heat shrink.
I vote for Canare speaker wire and spade connectors. Crimp and solder spade connectors onto wire. I believe spade gives the best connection because more surface area makes contact and can be tightened down.
