monoprice is out of 12 gauge speaker cable

Wow, I knew Monoprice's prices on most cables were good, but I didn't know their speaker wire prices were so good.

Bluejeanscables is cheaper and sells 10 gauge 🙂

I think the 12 gauge should be sufficient. Is the quality comparable to that of monoprice?

Do you know anything about "quality"? I guess not. The "Nub" in your handle is correct.

Thanks for being an asshole. Why do you think I asked. I obviously have no experience

Huh? I see 12 AWG for $.38/ft there vs $.25/ft at monoprice
 
Since my usual cheap cable places were OOS of 12 gauge when I was going to order a couple weeks ago, I went with bluejeanscable and ended up getting some BJC Twelve White. It's much stiffer than the other speakers cable I've been using, but it's certainly well made stuff 🙂

I wanted to get something that would blend in with the walls better since I knew they were going to be exposed more than my other speaker wire.

The bluejeanscable speaker wire is CL3 rated; compare it with monoprice's CL3.

wtf do you need 12 ga cables? just get 14 and be done.

well they're out of 14 as well 😛

Anyways I just went with what yoyo recommended :laugh:

*i'll be going with bluejeanscables
 
Well I consider my self an audiophile...but speaker wire is overrated. I can see the difference in speakers easily, but I've taken walmart brand 12 gauge, and monster, and some other 40$ speaker wire cable and couldnt tell the difference, went back and forth....

At some point, the rate of distinguishable change is not sufficient to warrant the change in price. Some loser will say that he can tell the difference...And to he who wishes to be such an egotistical prick that he can show off his speaker wire, kudos. I'd much rather save the money, or donate it to a charity. Feeding the poor, and helping cure disease certainly sounds much better than your speaker wire expenditures.

The 12 gauge at bluejeanscable is the cheapest they have, but if you find another spot that's selling cheap speaker wire, you can go with that too. I put a link in your other thread to a chart about wire gauge for different lengths and impedences.

🙁.

Speaker cables are the last part of my HT system and I really don't want to buy monster cables from best buy.

What is the length of your longest run and what is the impedance of your speakers? Wire gauge is determined by the distance from the amp to the speaker and the resistance of the speaker.

Can you buy speaker wire at home depot?

Are you asking in general, or asking the OP? 😉

If that's an option, then yeah HaxorNubcake, that's another way to go.
