This is truly educational. Thanks JohnK for the link to Speaker Wire (a history) and BigWill and his garden lighting wire.
Let's see, 16 AWG will work up to 50 ft for 8 ohm load . . .garden lighting wire... here's a link for 100 feet for $2.99: www.mcminone.com and search for item 58-6634. Might have trouble keeping track of the polarity, though.
On the other hand, search for item 24-120 and get 12 AGW for $23.95 + S&H. Get Banana Plugs for 1.49 pr. and digital optical cable for 2.99. I have ordered before from these people and was satisified. You don't find out the shipping until it ships, but it was reasonable in my case.
