Hello Jerry.
 JO>  to use the small wire like on some home chepie systems. If I have the
 JO> speakers very far from the AMP I would use a heavier gauge of regular
 JO> electric cord. Like the king you would use to power a 500 watt light
 JO> bulb. I have set up amps with all of this in mind and have NEVER had a
 JO> bit of trouble.
I'm new here. Please excuse my stupid question, but we (in former USSR)
are measuring thickness of acoustic cables in square milimiters.
Can You explain relation between square milimiters and gauges?
What does it mean wire of 16 gauge, for example?
And BTW, what is maximal permittable resistance of cables from amplifier
to loudspeaker? Is it related to amplifier power/loudspeakers resistance?
Gregory
