Default Brand and Source for OFC speaker cable ?

Look at it this way: Would you run 35 feet of 16ga "zip" cord to a
60W
light bulb (50-60 Hz)? Probably so. For your application, 14ga is
good,
12ga is certainly better than you really need.


You would certainly get a better quality of light through
a 12ga cable than from 16ga, maybe even brighter, too.
And the spectral quality would be more even if you could
get OFC power extension cords. I wonder why nobody
makes them? :-)
