OP gpaquett newbie G Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 3	Seems the Yamaha RX-V659 is getting alot of praise. I might go that route, but first I would need to find a Canadian dealer who has the 659 Also thank you for the suggestion of going with the factory outlet, I can certainly wait the 3-5 weeks to save the taxes Seems everything is coming together now if I can find the 659 receiver for a good price I'll be set EDIT: Actually not as set as I wanted to be, I forgot I'm going need to get speaker wires. The current wires I have are not that great to begin with. I see Axiom also carries speaker wires but should I go with those or is it better to buy a spool and do it myself? If I buy a spool of wire, what kind of ends will be needed if any and how easy is it to make the ends? Last edited by gpaquett; 02/15/07 09:10 PM.

You just end up paying for the name printed on the outside casing of the more expensive wires. I would just go to Home Depot and buy what they have in bulk. I ran 300' of 14 gauge through out my basement. No run is longer than 25'. Jason M80 v2 VP160 v3 QS8 v2 PB13 Ultra Denon 3808 Samsung 85" Q70

For an excellent explanation of speaker wire in general by a veteran audio professional, which includes a table of suggested gauges, study this . ----------------------------------- Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
