Due to my need to move my receiver from time to time, especially over the next few months, I purchased Banana plugs for my speaker to receiver connections. Unfortunately, I need 14 (2 for each speaker) connectors, and Best Buy only had 3 sets Acoustic Research ones (12 connectors total, gold plated, 8.99 per set of 4), so I also picked up a set of the Monster Cable ones (4 connectors total, 19.99). My question is, will I notice any difference at all between the two sets (intend to use the Monster ones for my front mains and the Acoustic Research ones for the front center and 4 rear speakers. Additionally, I need to purchase speaker wire for all 7 speakers. I will be running the wire for the 4 surrounds in the walls, and the wire for the mains on the ground. I've heard I should go 12 gauge all the way, but what brand is best? I can get this Monster cable, the Monster XP Speaker Cable (http://www.monstercable.com/productP...in=71&mixtype=) at Best Buy, but no gauge is listed. Should I buy the Monster Cable, or go with something else? Thanks for the help!
