Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Which speaker cable do you use?

Me too. Well, actually Lowes 12ga, but it was something like 29 cents a foot, maybe even 26 cents a foot...

Don't waste your money on Monster, I just bought some high quality oxygen free 12 gauge off of ebay.

You make a VERY valid point:

"Worth it IMO"

This applies for every piece of your system, if you have the money, and feel there is value, then you are absolutely correct in your views on the piece

Canare 4S11 from markertek.com for 75cents/ft.

I second that BB!I use three 4ft runs of this…for my L/C/R.

I use Axiom speaker wire.I got 2 nine foot runs.Very nice wire IMO.

I use Liberty UltraCap 12awg. It costs .50 ft if purchased through retailers.

I use 12 ga. bulk wire from Lowes. (Woods brand I think.) Very reasonably priced, and you get a 10% (maybe more) discount if you buy a whole spool. (250')

I've tried Monster and wasn't impressed.

For my front 3 speakers, I use 12-ga Monster Cable that came free with my previous set of speakers bought locally. For my surrounds, I use 14-ga zip wire. At least one of which is spliced in one location. Sounds great!

Brit, I use 16ga lampcord all around. There's no factual basis for imagining that somehow the sound will mysteriously improve if more money is spent on such a simple item, although charlatans abound who are happy to charge the gullible hundreds of times as much. Use whatever source is most convenient to you.
