There are two problems inside speakers, HOW it is installed and WHAT is installed. I know from ICONOCLAST that the HOW is more important than the WHAT if the wire is of even reasonable quality. But, we buy the name of the WHAT (super earth material wire) and have no clue on the HOW it is used or designed.
The polarity need to be tightly bound to control the cable electrical L and C as well as Vp properties through audio. Most internal wire is not designed right, and could be better. This means every speaker of the same design is a different electrical load if wire isn’t installed properly. A transmission line or L and C controlled cable is physicals equals electrical.
Look at your speakers and make sure the wire is geometrically stable along the lengths as much as possible. That’s job one. If not, that needs to be solved. Get each polarity uniformly close to each other.
Second is what the wire design actually is. Here is where it gets complicated to make improvements. The wire’s EM field properties can alter Vp linearity and put a proper AWG size to each driver. We don’t need 10 AWG stranded single strand wire to a mid or tweeter for example. What would go to a woofer isn’t appropriate for a tweeter if fully optimized.
We’ll look at both what and how as well as optimization that can help fidelity based on the proper measure and calculation. Will it make a difference on the product and off the paper? Speaker designers will say no, it can’t be heard even if it is better. OK, but we have a couple of OEM studies that report that’s not the case on better speakers. I did not hear the comparison. Our users seem to feel ICONOCLAST external products sure help but OEM internal speaker wire is a different application so we’ll have to see. We don’t want to jerk your chain if improvements are excessively expensive for what it may or may not do.
Best,
