I will not recommend expensive cables for a start because its not efficient. Max is 20% of the speaker cost.

I recommend Pro Audio grade brands like Belden/Klotz/Canare which cost $6 & below per meter . Termination will depends on the speaker model. Nickel or gold plated metal RCA plugs at $4 & below.

I do e marketing, termination & testing.

You don't need expensive speakers cables. For something of decent price and performance, the QED oeiginal is more than enough. If not, QED micro also can.

How many meter I can't advise u. That depends on where u mount your speakers & how far its from your sub.

Termination is RCA on sub end & bare on e other end. Bare end will be soldered to make it more durable.

If I do all the dirty job for you.. how much are u willing to pay for service?

Most branded cable companies don't make cables, most of e time its OEM from people like Belden. So its better to use pro audio stuff.

You bought silver solder eh? ... Not cheap 1 roll .. :s13:

Using klotz speaker cables for my Tangent 4000s ....

To those who are to embark .. just a word of advice, try to avoid silver cables as they might make your system too bright.

I got silver solder from states & they cost a bomb. Not worth it for MM speakers.

Silver cables will work well with dark sounding speakers. So it got its worth too.. likewise for silver coated copper cables.

Me not a monster cable believer. I prefer QED, Van Den Hul, Nordost and Kimber Kable. AFA also not bad.
