Check out Audioasylum.com, their cable section. Do a search for (John) Risch--he has tons of diy ideas. I havent done the speaker stuff, but his interconnects are great ideas. Maybe you already know this, but in case you don't.
DIY cable information wanted
I just tried making my own speaker cables at the advice of Martin DeWulf from Bound for Sound. I bought 6 awg multi strand wire from Home Depot and some silver and gold spades (that was all the store had, one pair of each to fit the 6 awg wire). Loosely twisted the cables by running the pos and neg in opposite directions (best I know how from looking at the cable jackets) and put them in my system. Not so bad, lots of detail, clairity, lost some of the black background (the echo/reverb did not seem as deep or thick) but they have only been on for 30 minutes. Mid-range was very clear. Keep in mind that I only have a 20 year old pair of Monster speaker cable for a spool.
Would like to get some more advise on DIY spekaer cables.
This was the best $40 I spent on my system to date. Give it a try. I have some AZ Hologram mono runs and Audience speaker cables coming to me next week so I can do some comparisions.
All comments and suggestions are very much welcome.
