thank you all very much. i wasn't concerned so much with the exact percentage per se, but as stated above 10% seemed to be a good guidline as any more and one might want to begin looking into upgrading components(and then cables, and then components, and then, and then...). i do understand how everything is system and room dependant, but getting 5 sets of speaker, 3 hdmi, 4 power cords, and 5 interconnects for under $400 is is proving hard to pull off. and as far as a new kitchen, i wouldn't put a $100,000 kitchen in a $250,000 house. i'd never get a return on my investment. i'd buy a better house.
10 percent for cables ???
hi all. query...the general consensus is your cabling should be 10 percent of the cost of your system. with that said i find it VERY diffivult to cable my system within both that directive and my budget. while my system may not be high end i would have to say it is "boutique" and therefor deserves quality wiring. please help. i do have dedeicated ac lines.
my system:
speakers: totem dreamcatchers 4 plus center
amp: jaton operetta
pre: marantz sr-6003
sub: sunfire true eq 10"
