Loudspeaker cable

[Colin2040]

Any good suggestions on a relatively cheap speaker cable ? I may need two runs of about 6m, so 1- 2 pounds per m is what I was thinking?

Meant to say a ribbon/flat type would be best but its not essential.

I'll assume you're in the UK and suggest B&Q, they sell 10mtr packs of 79 strand for £5.99.

These are the sort of suggestions I want but also any belkin type cables etc,Wilmslow. Any suggestions are welcome.

Maplins?

Belkin flat 15 gauge even cheaper than what you are looking to pay...

£4.99 for what exactly?

1mtr, 2, 3?

I think 9m , it refers to 9m in the item description so I assume this is pm?Could be a good purchase.If only I could get my wife to decide on a location .It could be one or two rolls?!

I use 5m runs at the moment - the best I have tried (and there have been quite a few) at this length.
Seems to lose nothing of the music and dynamics.

In my local B&Q 10 meter rolls of 79 strand were £13.28. 20 meter rolls were £14.88.

They must be really thin strands as the cables were no thicker than the thin electrical flex I'm using at the moment.

I'm on the look-out for abandoned lawn mowers. The cables that come with these should be nicely burnt-in.

The stuff from Maplin has clear insulation so you can see the copper - not too attractive.

If you Google 79 strand you will see QED stuff in black or white at about the same price.

Crikey, that's gone up a bit!

Mind you it was three years ago when I bought mine.

The petrol mowers only have throttle cables. How would they serve?

The last couple of times I got cable free by asking for it when purchasing new speakers. Is this an option?
