Speaker CABLE FOR REARS

aspers · 09-01-2008, 8:46 PM

I have a set of Jamo A102's. Can anyone advise me of some good quality thin speaker cable for the rears? The cables will be hidden in the walls.

Thanks

I have the QED original speaker cable and it is very good. Quite thin as well.

3mm flat-lay cable:

Measures 4.5mm x 9mm, so if buried in a wall it's just over half the diameter of normal 2.5mm cable.

Well the Belden has a diameter of over 7mm, so quite chunky - it's also £1.75 per metre. To be honest, if you're gonna spend that much you might as well buy Van Damme.

The Ixos has a smaller CSA, so has less power handling ability. It doesn't say what size it is. Also - it's Ixos, so personally I'd sooner avoid it
