Hi all
I’m wanting to replace some old speaker cable that runs around the edge of my room under skirting board etc. but there’s limited space. I’ve been reading a few guides on gauge and length etc but read a few different things that’s seem to conflict so hope you all here can help. I guess for some it will be a simple question to answer!
So 24ft/7.32m, 4-8 ohm is what I am looking to cover
My old stereo integrated amp is only 30w into 8 ohms
I also have a Cambridge audio receiver that which is 100w rms at 8 ohms when driving two channel
Am considering replacing both with a single integrated amp (perhaps Audiolab 6000a)
Speakers are 100w, 4-8 ohm sensitivity 90db
I know that advice perhaps would be go to a higher gauge cable to future proof, but with the limited cabling space can anyone confirm I am correct in assuming 1.5 mm sq. (awg 16?) is sufficient at that distance please? Thanks
