Please recommend a shielded speaker cable.

I have a Yamaha 3067 Av receiver connected to 3 M&K 95 in wall speakers (L,C,R) with Cyrus unshielded bi-wire cable but using just a single run. As there is mains cable running in very close proximity to the Cyrus cable I think I will be better off with shielded cable. As per title any suggestions?

Many thanks, Jolls.

Depends on your budget but a good OFC wire would be ideal, like the one they sell at Maplins.

Jolls, I cannot think why you would need a shielded speaker cable in any event. There are good reasons not to use a shielded cable, and they do not exist for specific speaker use AFAIK. A ground just isn't needed.

I suspect you are fearing or finding a problem that might be solved another way. Or is it simply the proximity that concerns you?

Meanwhile, here is an interesting debate:-

nopiano, thank you. I was concerned about RFI interference as the speaker cables crosses mains cables.
