Hey fellas,


I wanted to get your opinion on if I should replace my speaker cables with something newer. I have 10 year old prolink competition series 8 or 10 guage wire. it barely fits in my receiver/speakers. The wire hasn't been subjected to any harsh conditions and looks like new aside from dust. I'm assuming that they are still good and that I can just cut about an inch off each end to get rid of any oxidation.


Opinions? I would replace them with 12 guage wire from monoprice if needed.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your wire except the ends might have oxidation. Cutting off an inch should solve that problem. Now if the wire doesn't fit your speaker terminals then maybe you should go 12ga or remove some of the strands from your current wire.


or use banana plugs.

You can always thin the ends a bit to make it fit in the receiver or banana plugs.
