Best place to buy terminated Speaker Wire

[TheWhoDat]

Before I start, I did read the 'General Home Theater Audio Thread'.

I just moved and the movers stripped almost all of my speaker cables, pulled off most of the connectors. They are going to replace them.

Some of them were pre-terminated speaker wires, with the connectors already on them.

What are some suggestions for online retailers that sell pre-terminated speaker wires.
I tried looking at some of the stores mentioned in the 'General Home Theater Audio Thread', however most if not all, sold bulk wire.

I few years ago I remember some places selling a kit with center, front, and back speaker wires in a pack. That would also be nice.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

WhoDat

What type of connectors are you looking for? You can attach the bare wire to pretty much any type of connector you may need. Seems much simpler to just do this or even simpler, just use the bare wire.

There are some very strong opinions on whether or not terminating speaker wires is better and what is the best termination device.

Bluejeancable sells nice stuff that can be ordered pre-terminated.

It's best to have wire lengths that match your actual speaker configuration rather than some arbitrary length from a speaker wire kit.

why would you need to terminate the speaker wires at all? Most people who terminate are the ones that change speakers alot


If you really want terminated wires, I suggest getting a bunch of spades and crimp them yourself.

Something like this

All you need is pliers and brute force.

BJC, I buy their cables all the time, very nicely done, price not bad.

BJC = bluejeanscables. They have informative information on their site so you know what the proper cables are for your situation.

I, too, am curious as to why terminated speaker wire is required. Even a relative newbie such as myself found it stupidly easy to cut and terminate my own.
