Extending/re-routing speaker cables

Yes.

Apart from flexibility, does 81 strand auto cable have any advantage over (say) 6mm^2 singles?

[tabbypurr]

1 sqmm cable is 44mohm/m, so 16ft 5m = 0.22 ohms. No problem! Even junk grade 0.25sqmm would only be 0.88 ohms.

Who said anything about wireless active speakers? I mentioned the distribution being balanced line level... B-)

[Dave Liquorice]

Per leg, two legs = 0.44 ohms = 5.5% of a nominal 8 ohm speaker impedance. Not a problem for low level background music but for a half decent

5.1 setup running at cimematic volumes it'll be having an effect on the speaker damping.

There was nothing obviously "wrong" with my system when using 72 strand bell wire but the change to 2.5 mm^2 stuff really did make a marked improvement to the bass.

Meanwhile, the younger generation think Alexa sound great.

[Bill Wright]

I shouldn't think so. I just wanted something flexible.

Pretty unlikely to happen between power amp and speaker, though.

[Andrew]

A *carefully* applied match will do the same.

Can't you just put it near a radiant ring on a cooker?

[Bert Coules]

Sadly, due to an inexplicable design oversight, there are no radiant rings in my loft.
