[Elecraft] OT: Speaker Wire Recommendations?

[Fred Jensen]

Hmmm ... I've always thought 70V systems were designed for PA usage 
where BW is somewhat limited.  Something about the transformers 
saturating on the hi power in the extreme bass of quality 
Hi-Fi/Stereo/HT systems?  Not a professional however, easily could be wrong.
