4977 Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Is any one using 4 conductor in wall speaker wire to bi-wire their speakers? I am thinking about using IXOS 14 gauge wire to make cables for my mains. I figure it will be cheaper than buying terminated cables and will look better than having two sets of wires going to each speaker. I would appreciate any info good or bad on going this route. Thanks. Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 4 conductor will work fine. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4977 Posted January 29, 2001 Author Share Posted January 29, 2001 Thanks Derek, I got some free monster cable from a friend and hooked it up. I don't hear any difference between this and using 2 separate runs of original monster cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOOMIS914 Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 My entire system is wired using Monstercable 14 gauge, 4 conductor, CL3-Fire Rated wire. Multiple runs are in the sheetrock/drywall to Niles wall mounted speaker plates and under the floor joists. I am very pleased with it and it sounds just fine with my KLF-30's, C7, KSP-S6's, KSW-15 and KSW-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4977 Posted January 30, 2001 Author Share Posted January 30, 2001 The wire I am using was purchased at Home Entertainment about 4 years ago. Home Entertainment is no Tweeter but they still sell Monster products. I don't know how much it cost. It is very easy to work with. Audio advisor sells IXOS 4 conductor wire for $0.40 per foot.

BLOOMIS914 Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 4977- I got my Monster Cable in-wall wire at my local dealer (Audio-Video Systems, Novi, MI) I bought over 450 feet so I got a price of around $0.65/foot. This wire is excellent to work with, it pulls very easy and my electrician/installer was impressed with it, and it sounds great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
