I got my parents the Onkyo 570 HTiB, and just need cables/wiring now. I was at the Rat Shack, so just grabbed a 4' coaxial and 4' optical Monster cable for $20 each. Also got some 16ga. speaker wire, 2 50' spools for about $8 apiece.
Optical is for DTV, coaxial for DVD.
The runs for the surrounds will be about 35' or so each.
Are the Monster cables ok? (I know Monster stuff tends to be overpriced, but this seems to be the going rate for optical and digital coax?) Will 16ga. work ok, especially for the longer runs?
Thanks a lot for any help.
