I am building a new home and the home has been prewired for 5.1. Long story short, I asked for 14ga and they accidently gave me 16 ga in wall rated cable which I "think" will be okay for my Axioms. To "make up" for the mistake, they gave me custom wall plates w/the speaker outputs for each channel, and while this is nice, I fear that now instead of a direct connection from source to speaker, I now have two extra connections in the stream. Am I being paranoid that this makes a difference over going direct from receiver to speakers? Also, if they used 16 ga, and I have 14 ga going from the wall plates to the speakers, is that an issue? I am tempted to tell them to remove the wall plates and give me just the bare wire coming out unless you guys convince me the wall plates don't make a difference audibly.
Thanks as always.
