Thanks a lot. My cables are kinda screwed up now, so everything sounds fuzzy and when I turn up the volume it's all screwed up, do you think Klipsch will send me cables for free?

You can always ask, and yeah the link I provided is Klipsch's monster cable set for your speakers.

you just need plain 16ga zip cord. nothing fancy will make it sound any better.
You can get 50' of that for $17

Hey, I got these for $80 shipped on Hardforums, not a bad deal at all for me :)

I think I'll just get a cheap cable like you mentioned.

ribbon13 is correct. you do not need any expensive speaker cables for speakers that aren't very high end.

These speakers aren't considered high-end? :confused:

Well, I guess, since it's only a 2.1 setup.

The connection on the subwoofer is just a standard speaker wire, however the connection on the satellites is a miniport. Hence the connectors on the monster cable. The link you provided is incomplete; you would still need miniport connectors and solder.

To audiophiles they aren't high end until each speaker costs $1000 per cubic inch....regardless if they sound like crap or not. Klipsch speakers sound great.

ehh, I might just get a set of replacement cables from klipsch if they decide to give me some.. or I'll buy those monster cables from Klipsch's site, but they're a bit pricey.

Well, why not look at the back of the speaker and tell us what kind of connectors you need? lol

I could see 4 pins, and 1 mini phono plug..

As much as I dislike monstercable, $30 isn't too much to spend on this if you need specialized cable ends and don't want to solder anything.
