Crap mine is capper plated steel thanks for the catch....I was using two cables for one speaker using the center conductor It is RCA RG6 I still like the sound as it made the background very black and clean compared to the other speaker It has a little more presence as well ..Hi:
Are you using the center conductor , which is copper coated steel for optimum RF conduction and high resistance , or just the shield in each cable ?
The copper braid shield , if it is that and not a drain wire with a foil shield , depends on the type of coax , would be a better speaker wire than the steel center conductor. Then just connect the center conductor at one end so it is not floating and use two runs of cable for each speaker. This is also why you should never use TV coax for audio or video interconnects. TV coax only works at radio frequencies and is used for antenna and cable systems.
RG 213 is a great speaker cable as the center conductor is copper and large compared to smaller coax like RG 6 or even smaller RG 59. Then you can use the RG 213 and it should sound great.
Hope this helps

When listen to both spekers in mono even though the one with speaker cable is a tad louder my ear is still drawn to the other speaker. I am still trying to figure that out but I think it is because the one with the coax appears "wider" in a strange way. Can I just go out and get the RG 213 locally? I would like to try it as well
