Why not try different cables to see how it helps your setup?

In high-fidelity audio setups, speaker cables play a crucial role in preserving signal purity and dynamic range. Brands like AudioQuest, Nordost, and Chord Company offer cables engineered with advanced materials—such as long-grain copper (LGC), silver-plated conductors, and proprietary dielectric insulation—to minimize resistance and electromagnetic interference. Cable gauge, measured in AWG, affects impedance: lower gauges (e.g., 12 AWG) are ideal for high-current delivery over longer distances. Bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations benefit from cables like QED Reference XT40i or Van den Hul CS-122, which support enhanced separation and clarity. Termination quality—banana plugs, spades, or bare wire—also impacts sonic performance and connection stability.
