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).

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. 

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.
