I am finally on the verge of completing my first surround sound system. The receiver is arriving on Friday (a Marantz 7200.. the S&V article came out the day after I ordered it), and I already have my Paradimg Titan surrounds bracketed and wired with 30-foot runs of 16-gauge Radio Shack zipwire (cheap stuff, I know). I have Mini Monitors for fronts and the matching CC370 as a center channel. Now, I don't have tons of money to spend on speaker wire (approx $80-$100, including terminations), but I was thinking about getting Audioquest Type 4 for my fronts and center.
My question is this: In your opinions, do you think I should just get matching zipwire for the front, or blow the extra XX amount on the Audioquest or some other comparable brand? Also, are banana plugs worth the extra $36 or so they'll cost me, or should I just stick with spades?
