speaker connections

["Brian Milton" <bmilton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Where did you get the speaker & CT100/sky patch panels.  Did they cost
much?
Are they any good?  I will need one soon as I'm just finished wiring my
house.  I've got 32 speaker cables to patch and I'm going to have 3-4
CT100's I'll need to patch.  Then another 60 Cat5e's to patch.  I'll be
sick
of patching cables when I'm finished.  All just for a 3 Bed house.  People
are saying I'm mad!  But hey you can never have enough points in the house.

Thanks

Brian
