gsxr970 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've been searching bi-wire speaker cable for my front RF-82 II and my RC-64 II, and single wire for my, 2 (soon to be 4) RS-64 II. I consider the room to be medium size at 18'x18'. So I'm going to need 2-8' bi wire for the front speakers and 1-2 to 3' bi wire for the center channel. 2-24' single for the side speakers and 2-29' for the rears, these measurements are including running up over and through the walls. Those lengths get expensive!! I've priced it out at $1000.00 if I go with Anti-Cable, and was wondering if anyone has any used this brand with a Klipsch surround sound system or even better one simular to mine? Thanks in advance for any input or direction you can offer me, it's greatly appreciated. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaux Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Buy Monoprice 12AWG or 14AWG OFC speaker wires and save the money for some other gears [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Seriously, $1k on cable? You could re-wire your entire neighborhood for less than that with monoprice. Those lengths do not need to be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhendrix Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm not sure why you're bi-wiring RF's and RC's. For those speakers and cable lengths, simple 18awg lamp cord is more than sufficient. Save your money for bigger/better Klipsch speakers or take your significant-other on vacation.

themrclean Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 +1 for Monoprice. I am running monoprice cables all around and they are very high quality cables for the money. I have seen blind tests that prove there is no measurable difference between averaged price cables and the extremely expensive ones. Use that money toward something that will give you a noticeable difference on either your picture or your sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The Bi-wiring is also something that you may not hear any difference in SQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
