Best 5.1 speakers?!

ChrisUlrich · 11-16-2006, 12:32 AM

What kind of wires would you suggest for lengthing them?

I have wires for my current 5.1 but they aren't the best quality... haha

I am gonna mount them in the corners of a 12x12 room about 7' from the floor. The wires will be run along the walls for an attempt at hiding the wires.

So We're talking a ton of wire here... I will spend some money so no quality is lost.

There are extension cords for 1/8" mini-plugs. But don't forget the weight and confusion if you forget to mark which one goes... where???
