    Speaker Cable Gauge, Length and Bananna Plugs???

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    like I said, to each his own, I like the fact they are colour-coded...but, I do know this: ordered from that HONG KONG Site, never rec'd them in close to a month; ordered from the guy on uMay in Baton Rouge on Friday, Rec'd them yesterday...

    THANK YOU for POINTING them out to me!!!

    I have a similar situation. My cables are abotu 12' and 40'. Cut them to size, don't make them the same length.

    I use this stuff:

    11 awg which is much more than you need, but it does not coil up and it lays on the floor very nicely and follows your baseboards.

    I buy bananna plugs off of ebay, Here is what I have used for years (and they still look new):

    I bought from ebay so don't know about the seller. Throw away the "nakamichi" outer part and use hear shrink to make a pretty wire.

    instead of throwing away the part that says "Nakamichi", which I like, goes with my tape deck, you can simply use Acetone to remove the wording and keep those parts without using "hear shrink" to Jerry rig a pretty wire...

    The aluminum barrel ends are too fat for the wire and look funny. I don't think that they look jerry rigged, but to each his own.

    Synergy SUB-10 Value?

    bought a RW-12d, newegg special, (finally got free of C$%#@!'s List & uMay) not bad for $280...will send the Onkyo up to the parlor for 2 of them there...hope I can get at least 1 more of these, before the box car loads run out at newegg...

    next 2 after that...SVS???

    Klipsch KPT-250 $175

    Wonder what a mate would cost? In the meantime, would it make a decent Center?

    It would make a great center depending on what your mains were. Finding an identical mate may proove difficult if you're concerned about asthetics.

    OK, so I have 4 Heresy II on the front with another due tomorrow or the next day for 3 centers & 2 mains, all HII. Should I use this as a center, or the HII? I can use it, or give it to the.Wife, until I find a mate? If I buy it, hope someone buys it out from under me.

    If I find a mate, we're talking Surrounds, mounted on my brick column & wall. Should have a price on a mate in the morning.
