I have an hk reciver (avr130) and it only puts out 50watts per channel. Because of my room, I need 25 feet for the fronts (floor to ceiling, across and down side wall...) And the fronts are routed through my polk psw202 sub then to my receiver (so the surrounds pick up as much bass as they can and the sub does the "heavy stuff")
I just bought four new speakers (polk monitor30). Should I upgrade from my 16 awg wire now to 14 or 12 awg? Would the sound be at the same loudness at less volume with the higher gauge? I would run the speaker wire across the floor and only use 18.5 (14 or 12 gauge) feet if that would also make a difference (vs the original 25 16 gauge).
I could even go 8 gauge for the fronts and 12 or 14 for the surrounds (would have to be different brand of cable though)
I'd be ordering cable online and they wouldn't want it back after I section it up, so I'd appreciate some help for you knowledgable folks
Thanks
