FYI...Blue Jeans Cable now has speaker wire/cable. It's not on their website, but if you give them a call you can get it.

I called them about getting a long subwoofer cable, and asked if they also had speaker wire. Glad I asked. 10ga in-wall speaker cable for .48/ft!

10ga? That's a great price! I assume you'd onlt use that for going from wall plate to wall plate, though, right?

If I use a wall plate, I don't think the QS8's will mount flush will they? I was thinking of perhaps using a wall plate on the wall behind my audio rack, but having the wire hooked directly to the QS8's.

I've read that people had trouble getting 12ga wire to go into the binding posts on their QS8s. In-wall wire tends to be stiffer due to the tougher jacket material, so it may be a pain to work with. You could always splice a more compliant (i.e. flexible) length of wire onto the end of the 10ga, however.
