A while ago there was some discussion about loudspeaker cables and the
relative merits of analysis using the transmission line and AC lumped
element approachs. I've now done a page on this which people may find
interesting. It is at

http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/...g/howlong.html

Note that I decided to put this on the Scots Guide not AudioMisc. This is
because the page shows a fair bit of 'hard sums' - i.e. the algebra for
the
two approaches. However even if hard sums make your head ache, the results
may be of interest. :-)


**Nice work Jim. It backs up what I've been telling people for a couple of
decades. As Phil has stated, what would be interesting would be to do the
same analysis with real-world speakers. Particularly ESLs. I've measured one
pair which has a response that falls to less than 1 Ohm at about 17kHz. Low
inductance cables tend to be essential with such speakers.
