Speaker wiring - Blu-ray Forum

nalgreen05 · 04-24-2008, 03:43 AM

Hi all,

I just bought an Onkyo 605 receiver and a Polk 5.1 speaker set (RM6750). I'm wondering what the best type of wire would be to buy for this particular setup? It's just a small apartment so I wouldn't need much wire, but I'm wondering where to buy connectors/wire that isn't overpriced. I've heard around here that Monster Cable is overrated. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Sorry for the ignorance

you don't need "connectors" some people use banana plugs etc... but I just go bare-wire, and it works fine for me

I'd also get nothing higher than 14-16 gauge wire as well. 12 is what I usually use, 14 is fairly standard and 16 would be the highest I would go.

I agree with this, 12-14 gauge is the way to go.

Monoprice.com is a great place for home theater supplies.
