Speaker Wire For New Home Theater
Hello,
I have another question. I am about to buy some speakers for my new home theater and I want the best wire suitable for my receiver and 60" plasma tv. Does anybody have any recomendations? My old system was Dolby ProLogic surround system with a passive sub- woofer and Bose cubes in the front, weak rear speakers and a center speaker. I bought the system 17 years ago and I have not changed the speaker wire since then. I don't know if I should use the same stuff with the more powerful and advanced system. The front speakers will be mounted in the bookshelves that are being custom built and will also house the plasma tv. The rear speakers will be wall-mounted with a distance of about 10 feet front screen to back wall. It's also a 7.1 receiver so I will have to take that into consideration as well. Thanks again for any help you may offer. David Chapple |

Thanks again for any help you may offer. You did not disclose the size (gauge) of the current wires, the impedance of the speakers, or the amplifier power. Generally, any decent-size cable will work just as well as the most expensive name-brand premium snake-oil boutique cable. Number of channels, digital, Dolby, etc. have nothing to do with determining the proper size for speaker wire. |
