It'll be connected to a NAD C270 amp. Axiom had the cheapest cables with nice ends already on them that was 12 guage for around 9-12 feet. The termination is a bit confusing, though.
Thanks.

whats in those expensive ones is the same thing that they sell by the foot, unterminated.
I believe you'll need the 1/4" to 1/4" but im not sure if those dimentions are the inside or the outside measurement. If the outside measurement is too big they wont fit into the NAD binding posts.

I've been looking at the cables too. Sure, regular speaker cable, or practically any cable for that matter, can work well. The problem I have, and maybe this individual also faces, is that it is just that - normal. I'd like some nice gear to accompany my nice speakers. It's peace of mind for me.

I don't think anyone here would disagree with you. Life's too short. Get what pleases you if it fits in the budget. Just don't get it for the wrong reasons.

Here's the deal - get on over the Home Depot and go to the bulk wire department. They have 12 ga and 14 ga wire they will cut to whatever length you want. It will do just as well as virtually ANYTHING else you find and it's very inexpensive. Now if you would like, I DO have some $3,000/inch speaker wire that is just stunning. It sounds like it is expnsive, but with the proper cable stretcher, you can cut down the cost significantly
