[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8694712, member: 678581"] IMHO - There is no "brand" that is better than another when it comes to speaker wire. Copper is copper. If anything sounds like a Fast and Furious infomercial like "High Performance" or "Extreme" or "This wire will pay for dinner and s[I]u[/I]ck your d[I]i[/I]ck" the company is selling BS snake oil. Also "OFC" only really matters when talking about power wires vs CCA. The more you pay, the more money a company makes. Just make sure its copper and spend the least amount of money possible. Welding wire is great for power and any basic speaker wire will get the job done.
