Driving myself NUTS trying to choose Speaker Cables for the rear channel speakers in a home theater...

[twochordcool]

My understanding is 4TC is half of 8TC (which is bad enough?) but 4PR is half AND different conductors / dielectrics / insulation etc...

I could be mistaken but I think I'm better off with a really good quality, more affordable cable for rears from another brand / manufacturer than a lesser quality / different / more affordable speaker cable fron the same manufacturer / maker.

I may be wrong but I think it would be OK if the rear speaker cables are different from the front providing they are of good quality?

Anybody else care to chime in on this?

I think your missing the point the cable will sound most like Kimber is Kimber - also what makes you think flip fil etc is better than 4PR?

But if your not bothered about this just get the what you think.is best
