For starters let me be clear: I'm not a believer in special magic cable voodoo. At the same time I do believe that there must be some limits. At one extreme, for example, running inefficient current-hog speakers with a 300wpc amp using hook up wire is probably going to have some detrimental effect. This leads to my current dilemma. My recently bought house is prewired through the walls with 18 ga. wire (maybe even 20, I didn't measure, but the point is, it's small). The cable runs are about 25 ft. My thought is to use them for a modest setup of mid-market bookshelf speakers and a similarly modest amp, say 30wpc. Nothing killer, more like Sonos-grade. Under this scenario I'm thinking that the skinny cable might be fine. Thoughts or comments? Thanks and cheers,
