An alterantive is to pop of to Maplins and buy a reel or two of their speaker cable. Very good sound and cheap as chips. Something like £20 for 10M or less!

I've got some Gale XL315-2, XL 160-2 . Let me know how much you need in metres and I'll sort out a price.

If P&P is an issue you might want to let us know where you are...

Also the "AV Hardware Classified: Items Wanted" section might prove a better place to ask the question?

Ive got about half a drum of qed micro cable in white. If you measure I can unroll it and see if there's enough for you. Would do it for 50% current retail whatever that is...plus postage.
