What is the thinnest speaker wire that I can get for a home theater setup?

I am trying to lay tile in my family room and it will be nice if I can find some thin wire that I can put between tiles in the grout. These will be for my surround speakers, but I do want to get some reasonably good wire, so that I won't regret putting it in permanently.

What do you guys think about those thin silver wires that some are using? Any suggestion is welcome.

"Chord Rumour"

Its very small but good enough for a "Audionote" "Quad 57" and "Micromega T-drive" set up...

It realy is a nice cable

I agree, Chord is the thinnest I have seen. Also, Mana Acoustics.

not sure if they are the thinnest, but you might want to audition cables from audience. haven't listened to them in HT applications, but in stereo, they sound good.

check out their site for more details. audience

those are by far the thinnest cables that I have seen. And they are specifically designed to be installed invisible.

Just check out their website. By the way, they are priced very reasonable too....

the thinnest I've ever used is 20 AWG, but if it's a home theater I'd use 14 or 16 AWG to get the best sound. And YES, it does make a slight difference which is more noticable in some speakers than others.

Oh Yeah, Nordost uses ribbon cables as well.
