Way too vague of a question, you have speaker wire for $10/foot-$10k/foot

14 to 16 gauge wire is more than good enough unless you have incredibly long run of over 100ft or more

Thumbs up Speaker wire

I use 12 gauge wire for all my speakers, that way I don't worry. I buy everything from monoprice.com.

Default Welcome to the forum!

Are you interested in in wall or regular speaker wire?

In either case, I suggest you go to monoprice.com. For normal runs (<100 ft) 12 or 14 gauge will do just fine.

I use Monoprice 12 gauge CL2 rated in-wall speaker wire for my dedicate runs in my HT. I bought a 250' spool (http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2) and used every inch! I have a 7.1 setup, with the L/C/R bi-wired.

I have faceplates on the wall at each speaker position. I connect my speakers to the faceplates with 12AWG low voltage lighting wire sold at the home improvement stores. I use it because it has lots of strands and is also black and doesn't show up.

I use Monoprice 14AWG and Monoprice banana plugs. I think a lot of people overkill when choosing their speaker wire, myself included. Here's a pretty good source of information on speaker wire if you're interested in learning more.
