The good news is that you can get a noticeable sound quality difference from your speakers with a minimal investment in good quality speaker wires. Choosing home theatre speaker wire is not an exact science but there are simple rules that you should follow when selecting speaker wire for your audio and hifi system. The gauge number, which is available by the standard AWG or American Wire Gauge, identifies the cable thickness. The lower the AWG gauge number of a speaker wire indicates the capacity or ability to more better pass the electrical audio signal through the speaker wiring conductor. As a rule of thumb it is advisable to select speaker wire gauge from the following guideline of distance vs cable gauge:
Distance from hi-fi / home cinema system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 feet)=16 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home audio system to loudspeaker (More than 180 feet)=12 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home cinema system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 feet)=16 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home audio system to loudspeaker (More than 180 feet)=12 gauge.
