In Reply to: RE: What kind of hookup wire does Magnepan use in Crossover, stranded copper or stranded aluminum? posted by pictureguy on September 20, 2012 at 20:59:33:
I find it bizarre that anyone would think that Magnepan uses aluminium wire, and not copper wire, behind the backplate (from terminals through XO components to drivers). I can only assume that they must assume that, because there is good reason for Magnepan to use aluminium wire on the mylar, they must think Magnepan would continue its use off the mylar?
(I would have posted against the OP's initial post but, because he refuses to register like us plebs ... I refuse to consider he's anything else than a troll ... and I don't answer trolls.)
Given that we know Magnepan is extremely frugal with its manufacturing costs and given that Cu wire is the norm - and therefore very cheap - I'm wondering why someone would believe Magnepan would use esoteric (aluminium) wire, over standard Cu?
It just doesn't make any sense - and, of course, aluminium has a higher resistance than Cu - so why would you use it? On the mylar, the situation is different: Magnepan wants:
a) low mass, and
b) relatively high resistance
... so aluminium is the right stuff. But for hookup - absoloootely not! :-))
