I'll disagree with you jwg1749. I recently compared some 12 ga ofc speaker wire with a set of well known mid priced cables and thought that the 12 ga wire sounded better! I wasn't prepared for that result but after a few hours of listening that's what I thought. I would encourage anyone who is curious to try this inexpensive test. I got the wire from Monoprice.
