After reading some posts from others on speaker wire I have been enlightened that I do not need to spend the big bucks for Monster Cable. Being ignorant is expensive!! So the guage of the wire can most be related to the distance the speakers are from the reciever...the further away they are the lower the guage should be...is that the general rule of thumb?
As for my reciever I'm not sure what the cross over is. I'll have to read the manual tonight when I get home from work. Excuse my ignorance but if I were to pop in a CD, set my reciever to one of the 5.1 surround modes, would the same signal be sent to all 5 speakers? Would all 5 speakers recieve the same bass? I assume with a DVD encoded with say 5.1 DTS that my reciever is not putting the same signal through to all 5 channels because the DTS decoder is channeling the proper sound to each speaker.
Thanks
