Some speaker manufacturers use silver wire in their speakers, such as Tannoy, which also uses silver plated copper wire.
Silver Wire
Has anyone here ever changed out their speaker's internal wiring to silver? Either solid-core or braided? I'm aware that some high-end cables use silver, and some people even do preamp wiring in silver.
I'm working on a speaker project and I was wondering if there are any benefits in doing the wiring in silver, maybe even building the crossover with it. Depending on the gauge, it could add up to $70 to the cost, not insignificant, but rather minor considering the total cost.
From what I gather, the bass won't be affected much. but there could be significant improvements in the midrange and treble.
Any ideas? Comments?
