Clarification

You don't lose bass extension with "fat wire", but with the specific way that the wire is designed. I and several others here have noticed that using twisted pair speaker wiring (solid or stranded) has resulted in a slight volume and depth loss in the lowest octave of bass. The mid and upper bass, along with the rest of the frequency range, is greatly improved in terms of transient response and definiton though. Those that have noticed this and posted it agreed that the better attack, detail and clarity throughout the frequency range were worth FAR more than losing some of the extreme bottom end. My experience has been with 14 gauge solid wire in a twisted pair configuration. I don't know if 12 gauge solid would improve the situation or not, as i have never tried it yet. Sean
