Whats the difference between speaker cable and speaker wire?

No smaller gauge is worse, but you don't have a choice since your binding posts on your speakers and amp are tiny. The bigger the gauge number the smaller it is.

Was it really necessary to start 4 threads regarding speaker wire for otherwise ****ty speakers?

Radio shack sells some 16 guage speaker wire for in wall use. It's cheap and it's more than good enough for those speakers. I have it in my walls for my Infinity surround speakers.

I don't care how crappy your speakers may be, do not go smaller than 16 guage.

By kid you mean 15 then yes. I`d like to have all my answers when my speakers are delivered.

So i guess your saying just go get the cheapest speaker wire at radioshack.

Anyone have an estimate on how much $30 of speaker wire/cable is there.

The holes in his binding posts may not take 16 gauge without a fight. They are seriously small holes. I couldn't squeeze any of my 14 gauge stuff into them.

puppet, that's like saying an old apple 2e is as good as a current computer because a gig of ram in that old apple wouldn't change anything. Though I'm still not sure I believe in $$$ wires yet. Big gauge is good.
