These high powered cables are engineered for a smooth musical performance.  They are made with ultra-fine hair-like strands of the purest best sounding copper available and grouped into bundles.  This makes these quality cables extremely flexible and minimizes unwanted interactions in the conductors.  Using ultra-fine wires maximizes the surface area of the copper conductors and fully takes advantage of the great sonic benefits of skin effect in high powered speaker cable construction.  Grouping these hair-like wires into bundles also means all the models can be bi-wired and some can even be tri-wired. 

The ultra-pure continuous-cast oxygen-free copper wires give the music warmth and good detail, because it's a virtually perfect  Single-Crystal Copper  conductor.  All our cables are sequentially cut from the master spool and serial numbered to keep them in order.  Sequential serial numbered cables are not only continuous crystal, . . . . they are the same continuous crystal.

And the larger gauge cables give full power and robust bass response in high powered solid-state systems and even more so in today's best tube amp systems.  The larger the cable's gauge, the lower its impedance.  The lower the impedance, the more power it transmits to the speakers.  We recommend you maximize your power amps' performance and power output by getting larger gauge speaker cables.  Maximize the power and minimize the current limiting in your speaker cables.


Which model speaker cable should I buy?

With Granite Audio speaker cables, the larger the gauge, the better it will sound.  There are several good reasons for this.  The larger gauge has a lower impedance which allows the cable to deliver more power, faster, to your speakers.  This is important in today's high quality amps and recordings that have more live dynamic music passages that demand fast maximum power for full lifelike music reproduction.  If you've ever thought your music sounded restricted, power limited, or otherwise dynamics challenged; then you should consider trying higher-gauge/lower-impedance speaker cables & power cords that are less current-limiting on your demanding system and will deliver the fast full dynamics of your favorite music.  Don't waste your amp's watts trying to drive speaker cables that are too small or high impedance.

The larger gauge cables also have more hair-like strands of pure copper wire.  This increases the surface area, which increases the skin effect, which then benefits the high frequencies and overall tonal balance of the music.  Many other brands of speaker cables use fewer strands because it's cheaper and easier to build.  But, I can also put these Brand X cables on the test bench and measure the high frequency roll off.  I've seen a 6dB drop above 15KHz , making the music sound very dark and dull, with very little life left in it.

The larger gauge cables also have more bundles of copper wires.  This increases the separation of the conductors and minimizes the interaction between the conductors.  It also improves the capacitance and inductance measurements in the cable for better sonics.

Our recommendation?   Buy the bigger cable and get the best music performance that your system can deliver.  If you like our Granite Audio Sound, you'll love our larger gauge cables even more.  Bigger does sound better when you're talking about speaker cables.
