Inexpensive speaker wire for 5.1 system

[Gordon Gray]

Am helping a friend put together a Denon / Def Tech Pro Cinema 100 5.1 system.

Any recommendations on speaker wire in the $0.25 to $0.50 per lineal foot?

Gordon, alot of folks like Blue jeans cable, don't know if they have anything in his budget range though.

Another one to try is www.ramelectronics.net

I've done quite a bit of looking around over the years. Aside from making your own (which I ended up being able to do), I've found that the place to get the most cost effective, high-quality cables is Bluejeans.

Edit: In case you're interested, this is the document I used to show me how to make cables. I've been building my own cables for awhile now, and I'm very happy with the results, particularly from a cost side. (Has saved me a ton with all the components I've got. )

I likewise endorse BlueJeans... great cables, great price, and great service. Also, www.monoprice.com and www.impactacoustics.com are other low-priced sources.

Dave, Ken, and Sleepy,

Thank you so much for the information. My ML amigos have come thru again.

Best regards,

Gordon

I needed some CHEAP surround and center cables a while back. I didn't want to spend anything as I was gettign ready to move and would need to change my room around. So I used spare (old and damaged on one end) power extension cables with bare wire connections. You know, the orange ones you use with the lawn tools. Well, you know, it didn't sound too bad. I wouldn't trust them as my main cables (for those I use Groneberg TS Premiums :rocker: ), but for surrounds they did pretty good. My $0.02.
