You can use CAT5 for speaker cable, but as far as I remember you have to
combine wires, so for example you might well be able to have one CAT5 cable
per speaker with say all the solid colours connected to the black terminal
and all the stripes connected to the red terminal. There is a site on the
web (someone will no doubt respond to this with the URL) that describes
making home made high quality speaker cable from CAT5 (and interconnects if
I remember right) but they used several CAT5 cables per speaker (they were
concentrating on replacing the sort of stuff that costs over a tenner a
meter with a few CAT5 cables at 30p a meter).
