The plasticisers that are in mains flex to make it more flexible do
tend to
have a detrimental effect on the high frequency response of the cable and
it
is pretty noticeable if you're using it for a main stereo pair but you'll
probably not tell if you're just using it for surround rears.

I'd suggest using 2-core flex rather than T&E, the stranded conductors
would
be much easier to deal with than solid copper. When I wired my house I used
Chord Company cable (designed for in-wall installation) and other than the
internal conductor insulation being purple and green it looks just like
1.5mm 2-core flex cable.

Hi all,

I have to extend some speaker cables - the "rear pair" of a
(rather old)
5.1 setup. The existing (Sony supplied) wire is only a little thicker than
bell-wire. Risking the wrath of audiophiles, will twin & earth be
acceptable
for the additional 4 metres, or is there a *real* difference in badged
"speaker cable"?

Thanks,

Rob
