I pulled the speakers apart last week to finish the enclosures, and in the process of reassembling them I used Belden 12ga 5000 series cable instead of the original Wal Mart auto dept 16ga zip cord. I consider myself a "cable agnostic", and sometimes I believe my rich audiophile friends who spend thousands on a piece of wire should have an intervention with a therapist, a financial advisor, or both.
In this case the Belden cable made a clearly audible improvement in the treble resolution and a corresponding decrease in the fatigue factor. At 68 cents/ft from Blue Jean Cable, using this wire is a no-brainer for the internal wiring of diy speakers, especially line arrays that use long lengths.
With the Belden cable used as internal wire and as the speaker cables I hear an audible improvement with with the higher order crossover using both the high power Krell SS amp and the Bottlehed Paramour 2A3 SET amps.
