Hi Tiko , I had much the same speaker set up as yours but was using an Onkyo TX-DS939 Receiver and NHT Hdmp2 dipoles for the rears . I never found a high priced speaker cable of any gauge that could even justify the price versus performance with the NHT set up for Home Theater. I ended up using and was more than happy with audio quest cv4 that I bought a bulk roll for under a hundred bucks then used those 4 dollar a pair deltron banana connectors . When I changed homes and re-set up the system in a room with wall to wall carpet I used a bulk roll of monster flat line tucked under the base boards and carpet and it sounded great as well . Unless the metal tweeters in the fronts are giving you too much zing what your using will be fine . I found that the inter-connects in my system made more of a differance in quality of sound than the speaker wires did with the NHTs .(Van den hull Mk11) Or at least they tamed the metal tweeters a little better than they already are . Cheers.
What Gauge of Wire...?
Hi, I would like to know what Gage of wire do I need for my Speakers. Here is what I have.
Pioneer Elite 92TXH Receiver with 130 Watts Each CH.
NHT 2.5i Front Speakers rated at 50-200 Watts (Bi- Wired), Bi-Amped).
NHT SuperOnes for surrounds.
NHT Audio Center One.
NHT Two subwoofers each rated 200 Watts (SW2)
NHT SA-3 Mono Sub Amp rated 260 Watts driving two subs at ones.
Currently I am using regular Speaker Wire from Home Depot. They are 14 Gage. I am on the Budget and can not afford expensive professional grade cables. What is my choice in this case?
Thanks to All
