The longer the speaker cables, the more difference you will notice between gauges and brands. I typical use ProCo cables or home built cables with Carol wire.

Not as much as guitar cables. Are you guys running cables across your house or something? For general use I never needed something more than a few feet long, maybe five or six for a stack. I think some of us are forgetting the difference between a passive guitar signal and a speaker cable.

Hey, some science!

So if they can't prove a 7250 speaker cable is better than a monster cable... Hm. Draw your own scientific conclusions. I think I see a way some of you guys in this thread could possibly make a million bucks. When you do, remember where you got the link.

Come on Pete, read my post again. You are jumping all over the wrong guy. What I said is true, the longer the cable, the more it plays a roll and yes I am talking about 100ft versus 5ft of cable.

Also, look at the cable I use, run of the mill proco 14 and 12 gauge speaker cable, nothing exotic. And yes I have heard a difference in a 20foot cable going from 16AWG to 12AWG.

I hate these cable threads whether it be on speaker, mic, or instrument cable. There seem to be 2 camps, those that thing cable brand plays a tremendous difference and those that thing cables play a little to no difference.

Besides, everyone puts these giant ass enormo speaker cables between guitar and cab and then they have teeny wire inside the cab to the speakers.

Exactly.

Yup, I went looking for a speaker cable that was nice and thin. Something close to a heavy fishing line in size. But all I could find was that thick ass stuff so I had to buy that. I'm convinced every cable company out there are up selling me excess cable now. Fuckers.
