RE: Loudspeaker Cabling?

That's fine.
But usually when people watch movies in surround environment they want it i= n
high quality where speaker connections and wiring matters. Connecting them<= BR> this way would not be considered as Hi-Fi (shortest speaker cables, no extr= a
connectors, golden plated connectors soldered with silver rich solder etc.<= BR> depending how far into extreme you would like to go).
Ask Mr. Harrison if you don't beleive me.
Therefore, I don't see much point, but if you're happy...
Cheers,
Nik

Nik,

Downstairs I'm going to do the following:

A stereo speaker plate in each corner of all the major rooms, like this one= :
http://www.letsautomate.com/10640.cfm?CFID=3D35472&CFTOKEN=3D792= 53230

And a single in-ceiling mounted speaker for TTS announcements in the middle=
of the room.

_ALL_ of these speakers will be wired back to a speaker patch panel in N0.<= BR>
I will also be putting one or more of the above speaker plates behind the location of all major peices of AV equipment, also wired back to the same patch panel.

Then with simple patch cords I can connect any AV source's speaker outlets<= BR> to any pair of speakers... and it's trivial to add automatic switching late= r
on if I need to...

Oh, and I fully intend to run _at least_ 1 CAT5 cable to the same locations=
as well, and I'll initially leave them un-terminated in the back-box behind=
the outlet plates... (just in case)

This scheme will be starting with the kitchen, which is the first downstair= s
to room to be rebuilt. You can follow it here:
http://paulgordon.homeip.n= et/kitchen if youre interested ;-)

Upstairs is simpler, as I always have easy access via the loft to the areas=
above all the rooms, so putting in speakers is trivial. For that reason, I<= BR> haven't put plates in upstairs.

Paul G.
