Speaker cable recommendations - long runs

I need a little advice...

I'm making approximately 75' runs to my rear surround speakers. From everything that I've read here, 12 gauge oxygen-free copper is the way to go. The cable is going to be "exposed". I'm running it along baseboards, around a door frame, etc. I'm not interested in spending a ton of money on exotic cables. I've read enough to not buy into the hype.

Can anyone recommend a quality 12 gauge cable, and here's the catch...

with a white or off-white jacket. I don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb against the baseboards and walls.

THANKS.

I have an exposed beam ceiling. All of my speaker cable is exposed. So, I went with this. Click on (Audio and Home Theater). Then click on (speaker cables). Then click on (full product list). Then click on (6003).

Here it is at Amazon. 13AWG

or 11 AWG

or 13AWG flat.

I purchased mine from Yawaonline.

You may also want to look into this at Impact Acoustics. Less expensive, and just as good.

Hi....I just received 150 feet of white jacketed speaker cable from bluejeanscable.com @ .39/foot unterminated. Used banana plugs, also from BJC. Very easy cable to work with. Shipping was very fast and I don't hesitate in recommending these cables or Blue Jeans Cable in general....Jack

Check accessories4less.com . they offer some IXOS at very reasonable prices, both flat and white and regular white cable.

I agree with Happyjack; I ordered 200 ft. of Beldon 5000 Series 10 g. based on a reco from the Bluejeans guys. I originally was interested in the Canare Star-quad but it isn't UL listed for in-wall use and is a pain to terminate. My Beldon (and all of my interconnects for the entire system) should arrive next week from Bluejeanscable.com. These guys are no B.S. and very helpful.

I will be using the same 10AWG cable from Bluejeans on the prewiring of my new home for the very reasons you guys selected it: UL listed, low gauge, and measures well. Now if only we can integrate the GLOB technology on it, it would truly be a high end cable :rolleyes:

I second the bluejeanscable.com suggestion. Reasonable prices, fast service, no nonsense quality products.

Hey, and then you could use plexy on the walls! :D
