As others do not mention is copper cable, but common in the former GDR aluminum cable! I was very disappointed, even my pre-reviewers can not quite understand: If I supposedly do not need the conductivity of copper, I need not also the cross-section of 1.5 mm²! That is not really logical ...; o) So my opinion is: Stay away and buy pure copper cable. Judging by the purchasers' prices for the boxes, the price is likely to still be negligible. And another note: It is not just about the transmission loss, but the loss of the speakers on the final stage. And since the resistance of the cable plays a critical role!
