Onkyo Home Theaters
Do speaker wires matter in a new home theater system?
I just got a new Onkyo home theater system and I’ve yet to set it up. Before I do, should I go buy some special speaker wires? Do they really make a difference? I’ve always used Monster Cables for connecting components, so I’ll probably stick with those for the rest.
For a high-end music system, the speaker wires do make a slight difference.
But HT sound is very different. It is highly compressed, sparse, your attention is on the Video and you dont play a favorite movie over and over and over again like you do favorite songs.
So the speaker wires dont make nearly the difference for a movie as it does for music.
Monster makes decent stuff, but there is a 50% markup for the retail and 50% markup to pay for all the marketing. So unless you get an employee discount, you are paying a premium.
My advice: get a spool of good oxygen free 12 ga from a speaker building site like PartsExpress and use it everywhere.
