I listened to a $100K system ($40K was the Runco projection system). This was an Aerial/Krell setup. Their speaker wires cost as much as my receiver... Even when you are talking about a $5000 system, $50 on speaker wire is not much in the grand scheme of things, but when you are talking about...

What also has not been discussed, and may not be relevent to the original poster, is that there are many other factors, besides interconnects, that will make a bigger difference than wire will. To me, speaker wire is the absolute LAST think one should be tweaking/experimenting with to achieve...

If the shoe fits...:D I don't think there is anything special about Sound King wire. Carrol Silver coated cable would be better, but I didn't see it listed on PE any more. It is likely only a modest step above what you can get at Home Depot. I've always considered Monster "XP" and basic black...

We aren't talking about morons, pardon me, gullible, who buy magnetic bracelets or water with a fancy name. I'd like to believe that many of those who frequent this board are interested in more than the average joe. Critical, in terms of subjectivity, not TECHNICAL, analytical measurements. I...

1) If cables really made no difference, there would be no market for them. 2) I was of the camp that did not believe, until I spend a LOT of time comparing and critical listening. It DOES make a difference. 3) Interconnects will make a bigger difference than speaker wire. I too will not...

FAT wire is great for a lot of POWER, but we are talking about SIGNAL. Fat cable, likely with a higher strand count, encourages "smear", which is disortion from the interaction of separate strands of wire. "Basic" wire does not use a dielectric core. Even the cheap Monster XP uses a center...

I'd recommend Monster XP, which is about 14ga (actually a bit smaller I think, but that is not that important). Decent wire for the price, and should work fine for the speakers in question. Runs about $30 for a 50' spool.
