Best is to install speaker cables in galvanized conduit secured at either end. This way they run absolutely straight in a slope from the amp up to the speakers. Nice straight line, no unsightly cable risers. If worried about stress have a metal shop arc weld them at both ends.
Do speaker cables have to rest on floor?
Is it not recommended that speaker cables don't touch down on the floor? But rather simply extend from amplifier terminals to speaker terminals in a relatively straight line?
My thinking is that this might present too much stress or torque on the terminals or connectors with the floor not bearing any of the weight. Cable risers or elevators are too much clutter and out of the question.
Thank you.
