I think I asked this question already but I can't seem to find my post. This company magnusdeal.com offers 16,14 and 12 awg speaker wires. Can someone tell me the difference between the 3?

Its the gauge of the conductors. Smaller number indicates a larger wire. Bigger is better with speaker cables.

bigger is better but there's a law-of-diminishing-returns thing happening here too.. Big wire starts to get REAL expensive, and is negligibly better than something way smaller. How much power youre pushing is important, as well as how long the wires are. You can find charts online that tell you the recommended wire gauge based on these 2 factors.
