<font color='#000000'>What you essentially need is the shortest runs of the largest
cable possible for the front speakers. &nbsp;Do not get sucked in by
the quasi-&quot;new age&quot; technobabble spewed by people who want to sell you vastly overpriced accessories at a massive profit margin. &nbsp;12 guage oxygen free copper cable will probably do it. &nbsp;
For the rear surround channels, 16 guage of a convenient length will do fine. &nbsp;There is bass produced there but is is mostly ambient in nature.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Just to add my 2cents, you can buy 10/12 AWG Sound King wire from parts express for under $.50/ft.  I recommend using 12AWG for the rears if you have the space to route them.  Your system will benefit from 10/12AWG long runs of swire over 16 awg mostly because of the decrease in resistance.

Take a look at the review I did on 12AWG Sound King wire for more details.
