I pulled the trigger on KEF speakers (Q700 front, C200 centre, Q100 rear and Q400 sub) to go with my new Denon 4200W receiver.
I needed to pick up speaker wire for my rear speakers and wanted to get some advice on what to get. Last time, i bought speaker wire, i just picked up monster wire from the big box.
I was looking at Amazon.ca and there are different gauges 12 AWG, 14 AWG, 16AWG and 18AWG and two and 4 conductor wire.
I believe i need 2 - that's all i've used in the past. However, not sure what to get 12/14/16/18 AWG? What's the difference?? 12 looks to be the the most expensive and 18 being the cheapest (considerable difference in price).
Brandwise, is MonoPrice a good brand for speaker wires? Amazon. ca has a lot of monoprice, C&A and prime cables. I could just go to Visions or best buy and get the Monster XP wire (doesn't say the AWG rating). I did read that for HDMI cables monster is a rip off and went with monoprice, but i'm not sure if the same holds true for speaker wire.
I'd appreciate advice on the best option given my equipment.
