    9 guage wire too much for 604S3's

    Have an opportunity to get a good deal on a set of used Kimber 8TC with Cardas spades and plugs. Is this too much for my 604's?

    Thanks..

    Kimber kable makes very logical and high quality cables. I have owned the 8tc's myself and love them.
    They are not to much for your 604's. Good quality speaker wire is good quality speaker wire.

        i thought Kimber 8TC is 11GA cable, they should work well with B&W.

        just don't overspend on cables. a pair of 685 with Kimber Kable will not sound better than CM5 with regular cable.

            Guage for In-Wall Speaker Wire
            by Pez
            Just bought my first house and can finally run the speaker wire for the surrounds in-wall. For longer runs should I use 12 or 14 guage? Normally I just use 12 guage but got to thinking about it and wondered how distance factors into it, if at all.

            Speaker wire for 703
            by olddude
            Perhaps I should have tried the B&W website first. What do they recommend? I know there are many excellent wire manufacturers out there and just as many opinions. With that said, I don't need to hear about who makes the best cables. Just the ones that mate best with the 703's. NOT any B&W...

            Hi,
            I have 805s for my front speakers and I plan to buy SCMS for the Rear.
            What speaker wire would you recommend? I heard good thing about the Kimber 8TC but do not know much about Kimber and how well they go with B&Ws. Also, I am thinking about bi-wiring the speakers but do not...
