Cinema Speaker Cables ??? Any good?

[vdefrancjr]

Looking for speaker cables pre-terminated. Came across a brand called Cinema Cables (model Spectrum 2.2MkII). Not a bad price $70 for the stereo pair with Banana terminators. Anyone have these or heard of the company?

Either that or been looking a Better Cables (looks pricy though), Ram Electronic, Blue Jeans, or Parts express.

Looking for Speaker cables and interconnects. So fair it looks like AR cables are fairly inexpensive yet good build.

Thanks

If you can use a screw driver, why not buy 12/2 speaker wire from Home Depot, and attach some banana plugs from Rat Shack? You can buy the exact length you need, and spend less than $.35 a foot. That's what I did, but soldered the banana plugs to the wire instead of crimping or screwing them down. If these Cinema Cables aren't 12/2, they won't compete with Home Depot wire. Brand names mean nothing with cable. It's the gauge and how they are terminated at the speaker and amp (and even that's questionable). You can even get away with 16/2 if it's less than 25 feet. I'd recommend at least 14/2. Walmart sells 50' of 14/2 on a spool for $10 back by automotive. It's actually very nice cable. (I bought two spools in case I need it for future use) Over 50 feet, use 12/2. Some guys here have the Blue Jeans cable, but it's all the same stuff. Trust me.

Nothing wrong with that cable except its price
As posted above, Home Depot is a good way to go with very little effort on your part
