i pulled down the .pdf spec file and it shows
19 strands. for 12 gauge, i wouldn't call it
"fine-stranded"
once you've twisted two pieces together (as you
outlined above), how flexible is it?
do you do the twist the same way that Monster
does with their speaker wire?
if anything might make a diff in speaker sound,
with speaker wire, it is gauge (more is better,
up to a practical point) and which way the
wire is twisted
