40 feet total, that takes into account down through the floors, through the basement, and back up. 30 feet might be enough but a lot too long is better than a little too short. Thanks for the advice. Doug
I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire
I am fairly new here and still learning. I have a Yamaha R803 receiver and Vandersteen model 1s. I'm happy with them for now but I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire. I presently have 14 gauge wire I bought years ago at Best Buy. I need 40 feet. I've read great reviews about Back Cat but I think 40 feet may be a little pricey for me. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on a good quality wire at a reasonable cost. Maybe under $500? BTW, I bought Jim Smith's book as recommended here, great advice, thanks. Doug
