Read @marantzfan thread, I’m considering a second pair of speakers for our new house (closing next Friday). Most interesting is the KEF LS50 wireless but they still need electricity. I may need up to 10 feet for one of the speakers using an IEC connection at the speaker end.
My wife is very supportive of my obsession with this hobby but HATES cords, not just my HiFi cords but ANY cords.
I figure DIY Is definitely the way to go. I am looking for the most flexible AC cable I can get so I can hide it against a gray carpet, maybe Belden. More flexibility with smaller gauge wire is my assumption.
Would a speaker like the KEFs require 16 gauge would 18 gauge work OK? Tweeters are driven by Class A/B at 30wpc and woofers with Class D at 200wpc. Or is something larger than 16 gauge required?
