Reddit mentions of AmazonBasics 14-Gauge Audio Stereo Speaker Wire Cable - 100 Feet

Don't ever spend. Just find whatever 14gauge speaker wire that is available to you.

Done and done https://www.amazon.ca/AmazonBasics-14-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Feet/dp/B01D5H8YNO

you could probably get away with 16 gauge, but just to be cautious, go for 14 gauge for a few bucks more. something like this

These, length you need to decide

Thanks for the reply!

So I don't need to go down to 12 gauge, right?

Secondly, I do need copper wire as opposed to copper-coated aluminum wire like this, right?

Thinking of getting this one. It's CL3 and FT4 (CM in the USA) rated.

Like this one? Can you get an electric shock from touching the copper wire inside? My cat sometimes likes to chew on stuff. I guess I can use some kind of cable cover anyways.

Just to be curious: When should you buy lower or higher gauge wiring?

Here's what I would do if I was purchasing right now, this is assuming the room isn't huge and you aren't sitting a mile away from the TV. Some of these are some decent sales.

TV: 55" TCL TV ($380)

AVR: Denon S530BT ($150)

Sub: HSU VTF-1 MK3 ($430 with shipping)

L/R: ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 ($250)

Center: ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 ($190)

Surround L/R: Micca Covo-S ($45)

Speaker Wire: Amazon Basics 14 Gauge ($16)

​

Total: $1461

​

Probably will go a bit over $1500 with tax, but I think this would be an extremely impressive first home theater and is what I would do if I was starting fresh with that budget.

Its not a huge room, 4 speakers and a AV receiver will do.


You would want big-ish speakers, to get a full sound. You said you want it economical aswell.
This perhaps?
