Quick question...Im trying to upgrade my speaker cable on my stereo system..(Christmas money rox)...I have been using the standard TINY cable that came with the surround sound for the last 1.5 years...I do not have an expensive HIFI system...so i dont wanna spend 1k on cables for the 5.1 My question is....I have been looking at the DIY cat 5 speaker cable...but those look awfully BIG..and my wife would shit a brick...also...the costs of the cat 5 listed on his site..would actually run more than buying the Canare 4s11 cable from markertek. Is this cable worth it for speaker cable? I would use banana clips on the ends...
for skalindar (his favorite questions)
budget <$100
current system Kenwood 5.1 reciever and speakers(appx 600 at Best Buy) dont remember the model so i quoted price
Phillips progressive scan dvd/cd player
ps2(for fun!
)
my rear speakers are about 20 feet from the reciever...so you can see my aversion to trying to build the cat5 speaker cables that people have built
http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=27915.0 ....TOO much time and money...not to mention they would be more expensive....AND..even if I just did the 2 front speaker and the sub....when i watched a movie on 5.1...wouldnt the rears sound SOO out of place with my reg wires in there??? If this should be in cables..feel free to move it..but i figured playback was better.
thanx
