I've noticed for all/most of the Purifi builds, the speaker wires from the main board to the output connectors are missized, too thin, I believe. They look like 14-gauge wire, which is recommended for 15A rms. But the 1ET400 and 7040 are capable of up to 30A rms in low impedances, which would require thicker 10 gauge wire. Why not use the wire size that matches the current output?
PS
And as a pet peeve of mine, shame on those manufacturers that don't twist their + and - speaker wires going to their respective output connectors in order to reduce radiated EMI!!! I see these long, high-current, high-slew-rate antennas passing over low-voltage buffer boards, feeding the unwanted radiated EMI and subsequent conducted currents and voltages back into the buffer boards! The EE in me says cringes deeply and says yuck! These people are clueless about the fundamental principles of EMI. Just assemblers of parts to make an amp. I will not buy from such folks, even though the price is good and the box chassis looks pretty.
For those who don't understand, + and - currents flowing in twisted wires cancel out their opposing radiated alternating magnetic fields ==> no currents/voltages induced into the sensitive low voltage buffer board.
