Hey all,
Just in the process of finishing my basement and want to run speaker wire
through walls and joists.
What size of wire is best and are there actually different types?
I have 5T Psb speakers and the matching centre.
The A/V receiver will most likely be the 110W/channel Pioneer mid-range 914
model and there will be two in-walls in a room about 35 feet from the
source.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

35 ft means about 50-60 ft after running with the phone/tv, so
you'll need at least 12 or 14 gauge to keep losses to acceptable
levels.
