@miner42 I understand your problem and think you might find something acceptable as a compromise to in-wall routing on Amazon. I was looking for something similar myself and ran across an add-on channel that runs along the baseboard. The advantage to doing it this way is that if you desire to make changes to the room arrangement down the road, it will be much easier and of course less expensive.
advice on hiding cables
My speakers (B&W N804) are up against an 'outside' wall while my system is against aninterior wall. There happens to be a fireplace between the two. I had a tech come look and to run wire hidden in wall would be around $500 - which include sheetrock repair (not crazy about cutting two holes in outside wall due to firebreak in 12' wall). Does anyone have a solution for cable management that would be pleasing to the eye? My speaker cable is 4-14 ga bi-wire (65 strands/wire).

This sounds similar to what I did and somewhat visible between the speakers and credenza in my Phoenix virtual system. These “cord hiders” were purchased on Amazon and they run along the baseboard. |
@toro3 I think this idea is the best compromise for a room that is not a dedicated listening/theater room. A dedicated theater room would be nice but then it wouldnt be good for anything else. For the money I have to throw at this hobby, a dedicated space is not reasonable. If I lived alone I could justify it and would have the freedom to do it, but still would not be able to afford it. Sadly doing this is far from free. :) |
@livinon2wheels 100% agree with everything you said and in the same boat on multiple levels. Dedicated is nothing but a dream for many of us. |
