Me again! (flat wires...)
I could not live with the pink cables anymore... and also the blacks ones for the side surrounds. Especially after a nice female violinist came home two nights ago and dared make a remark... (she's out of the race to become Ms. Falardeau, BTW  ). So yesterday at 1PM I ordered some flat wires with the terminals and 22 hours later I received them! (Axiom sure is fast!) I had my brother visiting so I did not install anything before 5PM; but he DID comment on on how much better it sounded with the back surrounds up there and also on how ridiculous it looked!. Also, bear in mind that the appartment is supposed to be repainted this year so the white flat wires should stand out less in the end... So here are a few pictures of the steps and material used. Next steps: I will now start looking for nice coverings for the terminal blocks, especially the one on the ceiling. Any of you has ideas in that area? EDIT: The flat wires are very good, but I have to admit that Axiom could make an effort to find a better way to interconnect the flat wires and the terminal blocks. It is really poor. A more specialized (flat on one end and round on the other; or versions with built-in forks or banana plugs) version would be much appreciated. The glue and the layering is top notch!

Is the B-flat wyres closer to B-flat minor or B-flat major?

I would suggest B-flat minors for lengths under 20 ft and B-flat majors for longer lengths.

Well... They were all under 20ft, so I guess it was pretty minor...

The flat wire looks pretty good.
OK, carry on...
