What gauge speaker wire is best for these speakers? null

I use 16 gauge speaker wire on mine. They are less than 10 ft apart - this gauge is good up to about 50 ft. If you're going 50-100 ft., they say 14 gauge would be better.

I personally use 14 gauge shielded speaker cables with banana plugs. 16 gauge will work, too. Use this an example from my old days of car competition audio. Think of as a hose for water, narrower gauge less flow. Yet, then other extreme is to large as in 8 or 10 gauge (which usually only for subs and main power). Too big the signal can get sloppy, Needs some resistance. Hope this helps. Use good quality- doesn’t have to be the most expensive. Mid price. Not cheap wire, as quality counts.

It depends on how far you have to run the speaker wire. I bought a 250' spool of 16/2 speaker wire and I use it for all of my speakers.

I used 16g speaker wire & it works great!!
