Hi Fellow Inmates,
Does anyone know of good quality flat speaker cables?
Am in the process of tidying up my home theatre. Rear Speakers are being mounted on the ceiling and cables in the wall but we have parquetry floors and a large carpet square. I want to tidy everything up so that the only cables to the front aray are one S-Video to the TV and three speaker cables.
System comprises of:
Pioneer DVL-909 DVD/Laser Combi Player
Pioneer CT-95 Cassette Deck
Onkyo TS-DX777 DD/DTS/THX Receiver
B&W Matrix 805 Front L/R (Rotel RB-991 from Pre-outs)
b&w Matrix HTM Centre
Boston Acoustics VRS-Pro Dipole Surrounds
Musical Fidelity X-24K DAC
" " X-PSU
" " X-Link
Monster Speaker Cables (the cheap ones)
Subwoofer
I would like to add a Subwoofer and at this stage the obvious choice would be a second hand B&W Matrix 800ASW
I am prepared to compromise and buy a cheaper Sub at this stage and get a proper one when funds permit.
There are a couple of Sub's made locally such as Krix, a speaker range which has had some good reviews on AudioReview.com, have also considered M&K as they have reasonable priced but I was hoping to get something cheaper in the meantime.
Appreciate if anyone could recommend a good match at a reasonable price.
Most of the system is THX at this stage but that is not necessarily an issue.
Rang B&W in the UK and they suggested ASW2000 but it is a bit expensive in Australia so that would be on the future upgrade list at this time.
Appreciate any help/advice anyone can offer.
Thanks in advance.
