Wife stepping on speaker wire

Don't laugh about that cartoon! I just did exactly that using an big gas powered wet saw. The fumes were pretty bad and I had to scoop up about 100 gallons of water from my living room floor, but 3 long trenches of 2" x 2" were dug out of my concrete slab which allows me to run cables under the tile floor from where the racks are located to where the speakers and Buttkickers will be positioned.

Gotta love those Buttkickers for HT! www.thebuttkicker.com

PURIST AUDIO DESIGN DOMINUS CABLES ARE PYTHONS, IN ADDITION THEY WORK VERY WELL. AND STEPPING ON THEM WILL NOT HURT THEM I TRIP ON MINE ALL THE TIME.

Have you thought about carrying her when she is in that room?

.........rig the necessary bare wires, plugs, etc. and occasionally plug the speaker cables into a 110 outlet. She'll probably only step on them one more time..........

Hughes, everyone's having fun with this. Just get cables long enough to push back to the wall and out of the way. Use 12 gauge or lower, and the few extra feet will not degrade the sound. In answer to your question, Audioquest cables are thick and obvious. Kimber 8tc is pretty bright and obvious. But I think an appropriate length to get the cables outof the way is what you need.
