I don't have a LINK (or even a link). But I do have reel of it in front of me.

My digital calipers says it's 0.28mm thick, which includes insulation on the non-wall side. I suppose the insulation on the wall-side is a combination of the self-adhesive and the paint on the wall.

But perhaps it's not for 240v mains, I bought it for 12v LED wiring. But didn't actually use it.

Yes, the OP has already calculated that the resistance of

16-guage (1mm^2 conductors will be around 0.5 ohm round-trip. This is not going to have a significant effect on the sound quality. If the speakers are 8 ohm then the sound level will be reduced by about 0.5dB. If the impedance vs frequency curve of the speakers is very lumpy there might be a fraction of a dB change in the frequency response. There will be no extra latency. In other words, this product is perfect for the application and will not have any material effect on the sound. It will also be less obtrusive than any alternative solution that requires extra boxes and power sources.

An observation:

I have tried a Bluetooth speaker and, as you say, there is an annoying latency. I’ve tried two speakers and different transmitters. I’ve also tried transmitting to the stereo in the Motorhome ( the source in all cases being the TV in the Motorhome).

However, with the same Bluetooth transmitter and a pair of Bluetooth headphones, no latency.

Changing the source makes no difference. Ditto changing the transmitter.

Most decent AV amp have a calibration sequence mode using a microphone to adjust volume levels after the speakers have been installed. In my experience they also offer a manual adjustment for each speaker.

I'm assuming that we are not in the territory of the £70 13A fuse coated with snake oil fitted to a mains plug enhances the performance.

The reviews are amazing! I must rush out and buy a set.

Oh, come on, next you'll be telling us that there's no place for blind listening tests in the evaluation of sound equipment.

Or that replacing all the capacitors in an amplifier with 'better' ones makes it sound so much better than when you listened to it two hours earlier..
