I have my system connected I would like to know if there are better wires to connect to my speakers?
Opinions vary, of course.MrScruff said:I agree with GW43. Dont spend much on speaker cable. Its mostly a hi fi shop gimmick.
AndyBBB said:However, the difference between £5/m cable and the 'bottom of the line' stuff is very noticeable. Hell, even the difference between something like QED 'Micro' (less than £2/m in most places)
Helicon said:I would recommend QED Micro for A Sony DAVS system, anything more will be a waste.
I've seen a lot of part reels before now. Left over from installs etc.Helicon said:Given that QED Micro comes on 200 metre reels, i don't think you'll get it cheap enough to warrant buying a reel. As the average AV system needs about 30 metres, it'll cost £60.
Most reels of cable on Ebay are going to be very cheap stuff advertised as expensive stuff to seem as thugh it's a bargain.
Dankeech said:Kicko, I have about 58 metres of QED micro available.
If you are interested I will need a mod to confirm I can just go straight to PM or how to proceed.
Looking about £1/metre, but must get a mod to ok a sale via this route if you're interested though.
Let me know.
Dan.

Here is a blind test:

There are more studies available but NOTHING to prove that "extravagance will get you genuine performance".

Like the bloke said can you find any independent proof to back up the manufacturer's claims?
