Hello guys,My friend, who also owns RM 40's, and me, are having a debate about wire size and types for the RM 40's.I am using 14 gauge wire in a single run w/jumper for my no bi wire switch spiral RM 40's.I do not believe in trick wires, nor do I believe that going to 12 gauge or thicker has any basis in scientific fact.I also do not believe that I will hear any difference.
Why bother asking a question like this when you don't think wire can make any difference?If five people posted that 12 gauge super wire made a difference, what would you do with that info?Seems like you should just spend your time making sure your pots, putty, and placement are as good as they can be.George
Actually, my RM 40's have great deep bass in this room, but not quite enough mid bass kick for me, so I gladly use subs.
I was kinda wondering George, if the 14 gauge wire I am using may be causing frequency response problems with RM 40 ?I heard it said that using relatively small gauge wire with low impedance speakers can sometimes cause response irregularities ?It will be interesting to hear what others are experiencing ? ...
you didn't say you were having response anomalies with your RM40's did you?

Despite Officer Zybars' opinion I think an audio topic is always valid... Kaniq, didn't you say you were going to try the anti-cables a while back? And you didn't say you were having response anomalies with your RM40's did you?

Marbles,Did you ever try to tune the PR's on your RM 40's? I understand you got them used.
Set mid control at 12 o'clock, treble at 12:30, and remove putty one fingernail full at a time to achieve correct balance. Works every time.
I did own the Rm40's, a RM30C, and 2 pair of 626's, but I never owned Rm/x's.One thing Brian did to help with the percieved thin midbass is come out with a new midbass driver and XO update.You might want to try that upgrade.
