help choosing speaker wire

[Erman_94]

Okay, a friend of mine is now getting into the home theater game and needs to buy some speaker wire for his speakers. I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to upgrade mine as well.

I am currently running "Monster Standard THX SP THX Certified 16 Gauge" wire (I was ignorant at the time and had some sales rep at Future Shop trick me into buying Monster )

So needless to say I am looking to upgrade to something better.

I have read Crackinhedz sticky "Speakers 101" and the chart that shows appropriate gauge for distance.

What I have gotten out of all that (and correct me if I'm wrong) is the lower the gauge, the better.



I don't know how much good speaker wire is, but can you guys throw out some suggestions for some really HIGH QUALITY speaker wire(regardless of price)...I have aspirations of building a very dedicated home theater in 5 years, so it would be nice to use the same wires and at least cut some costs

If what you guys start suggesting is TOO expensive I'll let you know

Thanks...if anymore info is needed on my setup or my friends, please let me know
