What Wire?

Hi.

I will be turning my playroom into a cinema room with a rear projector.

I am going to run my speaker wires in a permanant position so they will need to be good.

Which would be the best all rounder and where is the best place to buy it from?

Thanks in advance,
Ted.

try searching for "cat5" and "twin and earth". should tell you all you need to know.

EDIT: also might be worth moving this to the "cables and cabling" forum

I would also add "Van Damme" to that search list, just as viable as those 2 sterling speaker ranges above Owain. although twice the price of the CAT5 per metere.

'Which Speaker cable?' - raises all sorts of 'interesting' discussions; wet string works for some and Diamond encrusted Titanium for others

Do you have a loudspeaker system in mind? What amplification? and What cable runs are you considering?

Choosing a 'fuss free' cable is relatively straightforward - your choice of loudspeaker position and cable termination may be even more fun!!!

Best regards

Joe
