I am looking for speaker wires and after doing some reading on the net (e.g. The Best Speaker Cable | The Wirecutter) I have decided to buy some decent 12 AWG wire. Searching on the net, I found the MX cable to be available (MX Speaker Cable 12AWG Transparent Type 15 MTRS MX 891A | eBay).
Does anybody have any experience with this cable? Can you suggest some alternatives?
I have often heard about "Mr Murthy Speaker Cables". Are they easy to procure? How much does it cost (approx)?
I am looking for about 7 metres and budget is 2.5k.
Thanks!
I am using MX 16awg (product code MX3088) speaker cable from around 4-5 years. I have fitted these with Banana Plugs that are also from MX (Product code MX1465 & MX1989). I have a running length of 3 meters each side. As I have not used high priced/high end imported cables I cannot compare the quality but this cable is decent and economical. It serves the purpose and I am using these with Wharfedale Evo4.1 speakers and Nad integrated amplifier. As you want to go for 12awg cable I feel it will be better then the 16awg/14awg. As long as the manufacturer use pure copper and does not deceive it's customers on quality it is good and the company/brand can be trusted. Cables are no rocket science and it is entirely based on person's liking for a brand, buying capabilities and social influences. You can search other alternatives as suggested by other members of this forum like Monoprice cable etc. I feel MX is a very reputed Indian brand by MDR electronics and offer cables at a reasonable & affordable price. I have used their mid-end to hi-end audio interconnect cables since ages. My full range of cables are by MX including Audio, Video, Pc. Just when fitting speaker cable use banana plugs or spades, it provides better connectivity and protection of wire corrosion.
