What are the best monster/mediabridge speaker cables to get?

Noah... I would not spend too much on cables. The specs of the amp and quality level of the speaker's sound do not warrant it. However, if you place your speakers far away from the receiver, you do need to use heavier wire to avoid damaging the amplifier. I think you would be happy with some 16ga speaker wire from a hardware store for shorter distances. If you are trying to go out to 50' then 10 or 12ga is what I would use. Keep this all in perspective. This isn't a $1,200.00 receiver driving $2,000.00 speakers. You wouldn't put expensive Michelin racing tires on the family minivan. Good luck. Noah...

I got Monster Cable Clear Jacket - for about $30 a pair sold through Crutchfield on the Amazon site.Are they the best - best can run into a $1000. So no, they are not the best, but spending more than I did would be overkill IMHOAre they better than what came with the set? Yes. And they were in my view at the right price point for the Onkyo>

You have to buy a separate speaker cables.there's a lot in Amazon...from 50ft-100ft preferably a gauge 16 or 14...the lower the # the thicker/better....

You need a Sub woofer Cable, Preferably Banana Plugs and speaker wire. I purchased the following respectively and am quite happy with these: Mediabridge Ultra Series Subwoofer Cable, Sewell Direct SW-29863-12 Deadbolt Banana Plugs (12 pair) and Monoprice 100ft 16AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable. You may also need speaker mounts.

You can't go wrong with a Mediabridge cable as these incorporate all the features of the more expensive cables without the price. Not to mention they are an American company.

Cable best used with Wilson amplifier products as is a very low loss cable intended for carrying signal to amplifier. Would be overkill; use of RG-6 coaxial cable (at lower cost) would meet your requirements.

that cable would be a great choice with that the NAD amp and the 10.1s. You can use the cable with the jumpers connected on the back of the speaker, or you could get a second pair later, and biwire. hope that helps.

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

Thanks, Daniel. I got 12-gauge speaker wire from monoprice and it works wonders :)

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

If you mean the cable from the PC to the speaker system, that is a common cable and well described by others here. Amazon, Radio Shack, maybe Best Buy or WalMart, any electronics place should have it.

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections.

I use a $5.00 7" generic case bought from BigLots. When looking at cases just remember that the speakers are on the side, so you have to make sure the case doesn't block them. :)

Thank you for your response. I was unaware of what a Y cable is until now. I ended up buying a receiver and speakers. Its good information to know though.

I would go with, again if it were me, probably a 10 gauge maybe even an 8 gauge monster cable. That's actually what it's called., but sounds great, no resistance whatsoever. Thanks Tim
