There is absolutely no good reason to try and make your speaker wires
8 ohm transmission lines.
** There is - but you are too dumb to see it.
There are more than a few good reasons not to!
One is the capacitance per foot would likely cut your highs.
** What rot.
Another is the impedance of your speakers is only 8 ohms at dc.
** More rot.
And another is the impedance of your amp is only a small fraction of
an
ohm.
** Huh ????????????
The reason transmission line matches are important at RF frequencies
is mostly to do with the voltage changes along the line caused by
"standing waves".
** True enough for FRO - but irrelevant for audio and most video
lines.
These variations occur at 1/4 wavelength intervals
1/4 wavelength at audio frequencies is on the order of 30,000
meters/4.
** Do you understand the word "irrelevant" ???????
A really long distance. Long enough to be entirely insignificant.
** I am thoroughly sick of arguing with ******wit** ham radio
jerk-offs
about transmission lines.
Read closely:
Standing waves are NOT the issue for audio or video, something
**else** is.
That something is capacitance and inductance.
For audio and video *signal* lines cable capacitance attenuates
the
high frequencies.
For loud speaker lines cable inductance does the same.
A line impedance matched to its characteristic Z at the
receiving
end does NOT lose highs.
Such a line is resistive as a load.
Capice ???????

Prime asshole. An idiot with a teeny little bit of knowledge. Doh.
Let's stop humouring him.

** You have not the slightest idea what the facts are Andy.
So you post mindless abuse.
Hams really are the pits.
