MadMan1624705738 Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 I'm setting up my HT using energy 5.2 speakers and subwoofer s8.2 I've been offered Canare for surround speakers Cabletalk for front speaker Monster, Ultralinear - subwoofer. Also, should the cables for the surround and front speakers be of the same length? Any comments? Also, as I will be mounting my surround speakers on the wall, should my front speaker be on the same level or at table level? Many thanks in advance!!!
Guest duckling Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Also, should the cables for the surround and front speakers be of the same length? Your cables for Main speakers and surround speakers need not be of the same length. Just take note: - main speaker cables, L & R must be same length. The center speaker cable shld follow the same length as the main speaker cables. - surround speakers cables, L & R must be same length.
Lancelot Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Your front Left,Right,Centre speakers should be at a height levelled with your listening ears. Your surrounds should be behind you and above your listening height.
MadMan1624705738 Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 If I have only 5 speakers, the two front left and right have to have same cable length. The two behind should have same cable length. Is that right?

Is that right? Yes, that right. To give you a clearer picture...let's take mine as example. - My Main speakers (Left & Right) + Center speaker = 2 meters x 3. - My surround speakers (Left & Right) = 11 meters x 2.
MadMan1624705738 Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 Cool. What about my choice of cables? Any good? Any idea what is the typical prices of these cables?

MadMan1624705738 Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 Using Energy take 5.2. Budget for cables is about $300. Soundwise, mainly for movies with occasional jazz.
