Default Opinions wanted for Van Den Hul CS-18 internal speaker wire

Hi Everyone,

Has anybody out there ever dealt with this internal speaker cable? All of
the Van Den Hul wire is supposed to be good stuff, but, with only 7 strands,
it seems grossly underweight, even for a tweeter. I'm considering replacing
it in a complete revision of a Tannoy Turnberry HE I'm doing for a customer.
Just want to know if I may be making a mistake before I do.

Wessel

Hi Wessel,

And that's how it sounded to me. If there ever was a cable where you could
hear a difference, this is it. It may not be possible to make a cable that
sounds better than zip-cord, but it certainly is possible to make one that
sounds worse.

Regards,
Tip

Thanks for your response and opinion, Tip. Although I cannot confidently
interpret your answer. I believe you are saying that you could easily hear
the difference and it did not sound so good?

Does "internal" also include the several feet of wire in the xover?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I also should have mentioned that when I
heard them they were being used for speaker cables, not internal wiring.
Perhaps they would sound better in the short lengths used for internal
wiring with the lower power requirements for separate drivers. Try them and
find out.

Regards,
Tip

Well yes, then there are those series inductors in any lowpass filter that
would intuitively seem screw everything up that you hoped to spare with
quality wire. But still, like with saving money; every little bit helps.

Thanks. I suppose that if this wire was used in long lengths that the DC
resistance would be high enough to not make it worth the money in the end.
