I had coffee with a friend today and told him I just got 50ft of (9254 75Ohm) belden coax at $0.25 per foot.
He asked me if coax would be better than normal speaker hookup wire for a very long wire from stereo to speaker. Seems to me coax would be better even with modulated DC than unshielded hook-up wire, but usually it would be more expensive. There is also the resistive loss to consider. The spec sheet on this belden coax says about 6Ohms per 1000feet. I don't know what a 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire resistance would be per 1000ft.
But why guess when there are people here that can tell me and give good advice.
Open to suggestions here. I thank you!
