Long speaker wire runs


Hi everyone;

I am setting up a new home theater. For my audio, I have an Anthem Statement D2 preamp with the matching P2 amp. For speakers, I have B&W 802D's , HTM2's and 4 SCM's. The speakers are about 20 feet from the equipment and with in wall wiring, will require approximately 40 feet of wire. What is a viable option for in wall wiring with this distance for all the speakers?
Look forward to hearing your suggestions.

IMO, considering the overall lengths, 12 gauge copper speaker cable should work fine. Don't use anything any smaller. Save your money and don't buy into the hype. Copper is copper, no matter how its dressed up. Its up to you whether you wanna use Monster or Home Depot type cable.

Good luck and happy listening
