Hello everyone, I registered for this site a while back but I've really only been a lurker, soaking up as much information as I can, until today
I've been involved in the fairly lengthy process of purchasing my first really "legitimate" home audio/theater system for the last six months. I've gotten to the point where I'm getting ready to purchase the speaker wire. I went with Monster Cable Z1 reference series for the center channel and front speakers, since they came with master locks; I used banannas on the receiver end and spades on the speaker side. I've decided to go with Monster Cable OMC 12 Gauge, for the surround L/R and rear surrounds because I need to run lengths in excess of 40 ft. My question is, how important is it to use terminators on these connections? I'm planning on using the angled pin, crimp connectors that Monster makes unless someone tells me otherwise. Any advice you guys could provide would be GREAT!
Thanks!!
