Surround Cable Recommendations


Hello,

I need some cable to run to my surrounds 'on the cheap'. I'm using a Marantz SR7200 and Snell SR.5 surrounds. The runs will be somewhere around 35 feet long.

Unless you've got everything else in your system up to your ultimate level I'd say go with a spool of generic 16 awg wire from Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc. that will work just fine. The surrounds are only going to be handling relatively low-level ambient information, so the improvement of spending a few hundred dollars on better cable for this application will be minimal at best, especially compared to sinking that money somewhere else in your system. At less than $10 you should just try a generic spool first as you've got very little to lose. Best of luck.
