I'd go with some Van Damme Blue Studio Speaker Cable, if it's good enough for studios it's good enough for your garage!

always makes me laugh when I see the price of 'audiophile' speaker and interconnect cables, I worked in broadcasting for many years including the beeb and the speaker cable of choice was often 2-core mains cable smile

I used to use mains wiring - is it OK to use, sound quality wise?

Only £2500 for speaker cable? Seems a bit cheap. How about this instead? Don't forget to choose the 3.5m option

I was going to recommend this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003CZBNJ2/ref=...

but it seems that they don't sell it any more... Which is a shame, I hope my 25m roll will be enough, I almost bought the 50m at the time.

Sounds fine to me, and it's relatively cheap smile

I'm not touching it this time hehe

Do any of the audiophiles use triax cable? I was using it at work the other day when measuring some tiny charges and marvelling at the marketing potential.
