I have the speakers. The Dali importer wasn't being conservative about the 16 gauge wire size. These terminals are tiny. So I either need an actual 16 gauge cable, or one that terminates with bare wire, solder, or pin, small enough to fit. Any suggestions? AntiCables was recommended, but even that is 12 AWG. This size restriction seems to limit me to entry level quality cables. What's the best one?
HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....?
Which speaker wire would you recommend for a 5.1 HT system? I was considering either WireWorld (Oasis or Solstice 6), or Analysis Plus (Blue or Clear Oval). I've used WW in my audio system years ago, and have used their HDMI cable for the last few years, so I like them. No experience with Analysis Plus. I'm sure either would sound fine. I'm not trying to make this like my audio system.
The speakers are Dali Motif LCR w/ table stands so it needs to be somewhat small and flexible (exposed and under carpet). Speakers need bare wire and importer said 16 gauge. That's smaller then I was considering. I haven't seen the speaker in person yet, but I'm assuming that's just for the bare wire itself in the connector. The jacket just may need to be stripped a bit further then usual. I wanted to use banana at both ends, so just at receiver end now. Easier to manage. The lengths are short; 1M and 2M. I'm doing the speakers in two stages; LCR + Sub, then in a week or two the Dali Fazon SAT for side-surroundlater on and require about 5-6M and run under carpet.
