in Basic Hookup/Wiring Questions
Was considering bi wiring my Polk LSiM 705's and saw these. Any opinions or experience with these? Never even considered a 7ga speaker cable.
Thanks!

    Looks like WBC is owned by a holding company based out of Sri Lanka and Australia. They use other companies wire, terminals, etc. and sell the end product exclusively on Amazon.

    That said, I've never heard of them, which doesn't surprise me in the least.

    Try this instead, replace the stock jumper plates with quality speaker cable.

    I've used some of their other stuff for budget setups, but the stuff I've bought previously specified the wire used to build the cables. I don't see that here. With WBC, I prefer Mogami where available. I'm not a fan of Canare wire in my systems, personally. I found the audio with Canare speaker cables to lack weight/body. Others seem to like it fine in their systems.

    Another note, BFA terminations - if you get these cables, you'll want to consider supporting the cable weight. I do this anyway, but in sales threads over the years, I've seen some BFA style connections pretty severely bent due to lack of cable support. I think they're one of the weakest commonly used termination types, structurally, though are supposed to offer good contact due to the spring design.

    I will say that the Blue Jeans Belden-based stuff has worked nicely for me in the secondary systems I use it in, and, in fact, one primary where my best cables aren't long enough in the current configuration.

    What are you using for speaker cables right now?
