My Magnolia shop used AudioQuest SLIP 14/4 and used two conductors per channel. SLIP also comes in a DB version that uses higher purity copper. I'd probably use it if I were using it for front channels.
Which in-wall speaker wire
I am in the process of finishing my basement, drywall will start in a few weeks, so I need to get all the speaker wire installed. I am looking at doing a mid-level 5.1.4 system (~5-10k for receiver and speakers). Will speaker wire make a big difference on the sound? I know on my 2 channel listening system it does, but I am not sure on surround and ceiling speakers. I have tried to research it but I have come up empty.
Also, I am interested in doing a 7.1.4 system, but 1 side speaker can go in the wall, the other side of the area will be open to a bar area. Can I install a directional ceiling speaker on the side and get the same (similar) listening effect to balance the opposite side in the wall? Or should I just stick with a 5.1.4 set up? I prefer to save time and money if its not going to sound right.
Thank you,
Justin
